Jessica explained to me how she was writing haiku instead of doing her homework and she needed help with a word or two. That in turn inspired me to think about haiku, and then I wrote three. After that I got really interested in it and looked up a few websites to figure out what the real rules of haiku were. I think it depends on who you ask. Anyway, I might as well share, no point in keeping them to myself.

each day is spent with
no goals being accomplished
simply existing

observing the world
recording it with haiku
I express myself

With the rain outside
washing away all the sad
I can start again
