- Dr. Seuss

twigs and grass.

Write an Elephant HaikuHaiku is a form of poetry that comes from Japan. The poems have three lines. The first and third lines each contain five syllables, or beats. The second line contains seven beats.
Your great gray ears flap,
keeping you cool in the heat
of long sunny days.
The trunk’s two fingers
reach for a leaf way up high,
so tasty and sweet.
