Haikus!

Here's post two of two, about haikus.

Haikus are short poems with a few simple rules.

Haikus can only be three lines.
There must be 5 syllables in the first and last lines and 7 syllables in the second line.
Here is an example of a funny haiku:

Haikus are easy.
But sometimes they don't make sense.
Refrigerator.


Haikus don't have to rhyme, but they should be creative.

Here are a few samples of my haikus:

An old pond sits here.
A stone falls in the water.
It makes small ripples.


The new leaves are green.
The sun makes them translucent.
Rus'ling in the wind.


The apostrophe there lets the reader know that a syllable has been removed.  Haikus do not have to be about nature, but mine were inspired by leaves and a pond, as you can see.
Challenge time!  I want you, my readers, to write your OWN haikus!  Post them in the comments after this post.  Looking forward to reading them!
