Haiku Poems

     When I was in fourth grade, I started to learn about haiku poems. Haiku  poems are mainly based on nature. They only have one verse with three lines in them. The first has 5 syllables, the middle has 7 syllables, and the last has 5 syllables. This poem was originated in Japan.
     One of my favorites is by Soseki Natsume. It is a poem about winter, and it goes like this:

"Over the wintry
forest, winds howl in rage
with no leaves to blow"

     Haiku poems are really simple, but simple is always the best way to put things. Hopefully, you might enjoy haiku poems as much as i do!!!


(P.S. Sorry for the small post!)
