Journal 11: Haiku

A haiku is a three line poem. Line one has 5 syllables.  Line two has 7 syllables. Line 3 has five syllables.
There is a cutting between lines 2 and 3 which shows a contrast between two distinct images/ideas.

Beneath the haiku write three responses: three sentences about why you wrote the poem, three sentences about the poetic devices (include at least 3 in your poem, one understatement), and three sentences about haiku form (or the form you chose to use/adapt if you did not follow the conventional structure).  Make sure to include three vocabulary words from Unit 12 either in your poem and/or in your responses.
