Writing Haiku – You can do it!

Haiku

Do you have imagination?
Do you know what syllables are?
Can you count to 5? To 7?
You can write haiku.

Haiku is a kind of poem that originated in Japan. The lines follow a syllable pattern.

Line 1 – 5 syllables
Line 2 – 7 syllables
Line 3 – 5 syllables

Traditional haiku are usually peaceful poems about nature. But, I guess, they can be about anything.
