Haiku
COMPOSING A TRADITIONAL JAPANESE HAIKU POEM
The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct discipline:- Each complete poem has only three lines, totalling 17 syllables.
- the first line must be five syllables- the second line must be seven syllables- the third line must be five syllables
When these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture .
Birds take wing on high, gliding over angry wavesback to their safe nests.

Rapunzel’s Rap
Rapunzel was a girl with hair of goldTrapped in a tower in days of old
She wasn’t allowed outside to playAnd her golden hair grew longer each day
Grew longer and longer and longer each day.
The witch who locked her up was meanWith a pointed nose and a face of green
Mean mean meaner than the queen of mean.
- Sonja Dunn
