Can you Haiku?


Emily, 10 years old, wrote two sweet Haiku's this morning!  I love them both!

Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.
 
1)The soft leathered book.
I feel the soft silk pages.
The comforting words.

2) The shiny water.
 I float away from trouble.
 All my troubles sink.
