Competition: Haiku we do.

Finished
Haiku we do.

So lets kick this first week off with the wonderful Haiku. A haiku is a three lined poem. The first line has five syllables, the second has seven syllables, and the third has five. Here is an example:

"The Heart grows fonder

with you away, behind me

one day to come home."

The inspiration I want you guys to use is "Planets". Now that can be Earth, any of our solar systems planets, or maybe even a planet from the Star Wars Universe. The choice is up to you.

You will be scored on Originality, Creativity, Sticking to the rules of the poem, and how well you use the inspiration.

So ready, set , Haiku.

There are no limits
To syllables in Haiku
Here, or Tatooine.

Some traditional
Others ignore the normal
Like troopers and droids.

So let me be frank
On Earth or on Tatooine
Haiku are the same.

Pale eye against a black sea,
