    Kittens looking out the window
    Dogs walking by with loud viscious growls
    Now where are those kittens

    I love the internet. Here it goes:

    Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry! Check out some Haiku at Haiku Salon (see Lesson 2 for the link).

    Clear, brilliant blue sky,
    Gold, red, and orange leaves make
    Window mosaics.

    I am hungry now.
    What can I snack on quickly
    And then go to bed?

    The wind is blowing
    The leaves are dancing around
    Showing God's designs

    Raindrops keep falling
    On my head. That doesn't mean
    They are too big now.
