Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. It has 3 lines. The 1st and last lines have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme and because they are so short they are usually written about things that are familiar to the reader like animals and seasons for example.
Here are our haiku poems:
Cars Zoom
Cars cars everywhere,
Zoom past the houses so fast
On the racing tracks.
