Writing Haikus

I have always been a fan of poetry. One type of poetry I really enjoy reading is the haiku. The haiku is a poem that usually consists of three lines with a total of 17 syllables. The first line has 5 syllables, the second line 7 syllables, and the third line 5 syllables. It describes one event, idea, thing, etc...

So, here's what I would like to suggest:
Let's ALL write a haiku (teachers included) and post it to this blog. Here is mine.


The North Star
Mysterious light
Brilliant but unreachable
Guiding my way home.
