Haiku Contest

Here's a contest for all of you! Write a haiku and post it as a comment. At the end of April I will post the winners. If you post as anonymous and you are a winner then I will just say it's by anonymous. The top three will be posted.Here's an example:

The snow falls on me
Plop-it drops-sliding down me
Soft and cold white snow.

A haiku has three lines; five syllables, seven, then five again.

The rule is that you can't copy anyone. The haiku has to be original. Have fun making a haiku!
