Haiku a day keeps the sensei away!

falling autumn leaves
dropping tears from the blue sky-
now a stinging wind

Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional Japanese poetry.

The metrical pattern of Haiku: Haiku-poems consist of respectively 5, 7 and 5 syllables in three units. In Japanese, this convention is a must, but in English, which has variation in the length of syllables, this can sometimes be difficult.
The seasonal theme: Each Haiku must contain a "kigo", a season word, which indicate in which season the Haiku is set. For example, cherry blossoms indicate spring, snow indicate winter, and mosquitoes indicate summer, but the season word isn't always that obvious.
Give it a go yo!!

Mi querida poeta,
Haiku has been around forever. We were doing that when I (emphatic!) was in school! Here goes:
Five cats ran past me
Carrying three rats
Into the leaf pile.
(leaf pile.....implicit understand of fall!)
Love, Mom
