Today in Writing 201, the task is to write Haiku and the subject is “water”, and if possible to use simile. Haiku briefly, is a poem containing 17 syllables with a 5-7-5 format: The first line containing 5 syllables, the next: 7 and the third: 5. [Of course there is much more to Haiku than just this, but that isn’t for me to talk about here]. So here goes!

Nature’s Shower

Rain falling drip drop
Forms a puddle on the ground
Brazen blackbird takes a shower
