Haiku

1.

In the rocky waves

a beautiful ship sailed by

as the morning passed

2.

In a dark forest

the calm wind blew a maple

after the night fell

3.

Brown grass covers me

I reach up to the blue sky

all in the morning

Haiku is a kind of poetry but it's very different than poetry. A haiku poem has five syllables at the first line, seven syllables at the second line and five syllables at the last line. As you can see, the poem is three lines. It is a poem about ONE time, not like: now, later, it just happened, after that, or last week. The lines answer these questions: Where? What? When?
