Below is a description of Haiku poem guidelines. Your assigment is to write 2 Haiku poems following the below guidelines.

The 300-year old Haiku Poem has its own distinct discipline:
Each complete poem has only three lines, totaling 17 syllables.

- The first line must be five syllables
- the second line must be seven syllables
- the third line must be five syllables

when these rigid conditions are met, the result can be a very satisfying word picture
A Haiku poem can be on any topic or subject. It only takes your own individual imagination to think of a subject, and a bit of work and refinement to bring about a pleasant Haiku story. And that is what Haiku is - a story with only 17 syllables in 3 lines.

Here are several of my own Haiku Poems:-
(A. Knight, author)

Example 1:

 Clouds sit still above.
 Mountains stir a placid sea.
 Nature's beauty glows.

Example 2:

 Born, we quickly age.
But wisdom comes so slowly,
young minds never die.
