Haiku Poems

Haiku poems are from Japan. A haiku poem has three lines. The first line has to have five syllables, the second has to have seven and the third has five. Haiku poems paint a picture in your mind. I wrote a haiku poem on birds.

Birds
Flying through the air.
Squawking past the setting sun.
I watch them in awe.
