Thank you so much, Olga for all your kind words. The Haiku is so much fun to do, because it's fairly easy. One thing to remember is that it does not rhyme. It coveys a single thought in a few words. 3 lines
line one--5 syllables
line two--7 syllables
line three--5 syllables
Here are a couple of examples. I wrote this one when I was helping the 4th graders:

Trees are like brooms
Sweeping the clouds in the sky
All that's left is blue

Here is one that one of my students wrote:
As the clouds run by
They leave skid marks in the sky
Then they disappear

The fun thing about Haiku is that you can say so much in such a few words. Poetry paints a picture with words. The Haiku is a wonderful paint brush for your canvas. I can't wait to see what you all come up with.
Good luck
LindaU
