Haiku

Japanese haiku
will be their next adventure.
poems they will love
Like the poem says, try writing some haiku poetry.

Use 17 syllables in total; five in the first line, seven in the second line and five in the third line. Post at least three poems--more if you are inspired. Focus on a theme, idea or image and see what you come up with.They could be related in theme or totally different from one another.  It is fun to use haiku in your facebook posts.

Have a look at this Los Angeles Times article that tells of Japanese haiku poets writing in the aftermath of the earthquake. You will also find samples of their poetry.
