The cherry blossom
Falls softly in the cool breeze
Crushed beneath my foot
This is the Haiku that my friend and I wrote in our World Literature class. Our seasonal word is the "cherry blossom" and the season that we were writing about was spring, when the cherry blossoms are plentiful. We tried to stick with the standard length of a haiku, using the 5, 7, 5, syllable pattern in the three lines of our poem. Also, we wanted to end our poem with a little twist and the end, so we described the moment when one of the beautiful cherry blossoms gets crushed. This was a very fun project to work on.

that was a great picture of the cherry blossom at the top!
also, your last line was very intersting. it was definately a climax/unexpected line in the haiku. the mood was calm and smooth and suddenly it turned.
