Let's Post in Haiku!


"Haiku" is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.

Here's a Haiku to help you remember:

I am first with five
Then seven in the middle --
Five again to end.

Please respond to this post with your reflections, new learning from the day or other comments you'd like to share in the form of a haiku.
