Writing A Haiku

     to write a haiku
here is what you need to do
     choose a nature scene

     a large thirsty moose
drinking from a flowing stream
     nature meets its needs

     count the syllables
you need for each of the lines
     five, seven, and five

     state your thought clearly
put nature on center stage
     now give it a try

It is also good to have a juxtaposition at the last line.
