Haiku- Is a form of Japanese Poetry, consisting of 17 morae,in three metrical phrases of 5, 7 and 5 morae respectively. In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line, while haiku in english usually appear in three lines, to parallel the three metrical phrases of Japanese haiku. - Wikipedia

So, this week I have been learning about haiku(s), in my writing class. Which in fact I love and its the only thing that makes me smile at school. Ms.Whitaker, my writing teacher has been teaching us to write daily haiku(s), which I find very interesting. Haiku(s) are like little tiny poems that make you reflect life, it consists of three line, the first one has to be five syllables, the second one seven, and the last one five. Today I decided to share a haiku, which isn't very good, but I tried! Also, notice its not a perfect haiku with 5-7-5. But life's not perfect and neither is my writing.
