Haiku

Today the children have been writing Japanese Haiku.

Haiku are Japenese poems. They are special because they always have three lines. The first line contains 5 syllables, the second line contains 7 syllables
and the third line contains 5 syllables. Haikus use words to paint a picture.
Haikus don't use rhyming words. They are usually related to nature.

Here are some of the children's examples. Enjoy and please feel free to comment.
