Examples:

     A bitter morning

     Sparrows sitting together

     Without any necks

    How beautifully

     That kite soars up to the sky

     From the small boy's hand.

    6A plays outside

    How they love the fresh air above

    And the grass beneath

Write three haiku poems. See if you can write all 3 about one aspect. For example, 

you could write three haiku poems about three different types of birds or 

three different types of flowers or three different members of your family or three different sports.
