Haiku

Thanks Janice, for reminding us about the Haiku.

I will give some examples of haikus here.

Example 1
Found them
finally
worth each step

Example 2
A tunnel
landscape gone
moments to relax

Example 3
Tourists
taken by the view
Snapshots

Haikus are made up of 3 lines.
The "punch line" is usually reserved for the last line.
The traditional haiku is has 17 syllabus- 5 in line 1, 7 in line 2 and 5 in line 3. You may want to stick to that, or you may just write like the examples given here.

A very simple example of a haiku on houses:
Houses
Made of pinewood
Pretty

Enough info?

Let your creative juices flow and do remember to include an illustration.

All the best.
