A Little Fall: An October Haiku

Hey, girl, hey! Today I decided to tackle penning a haiku.

In case you don’t remember, a haiku is a nonrhyming Japanese poetic form with a 5-7-5 meter: the first and last lines have five syllables, while the second has seven. It usually focuses on nature and imagery.

Haiku No. 1

the kitten taps the puddle

splashing, prancing, falls
