Haiku Poem

In class at the moment we are writing poems. This one is a haiku poem, which comes from Japan, and is traditionally about nature and natural things. They have three lines, with 5 syllables in the first and last, and 7 in the middle. Here are two examples that I wrote.

The Coast
As the wind howls by
And the trees whimper and moan
Waves crash in the night

Vulnerable
On a sunny day
A leaf is tossed in the wind
It has no defence
