How do I write a haiku?

A haiku is a 3-line poem with 17 syllables. It is usually about nature. The pattern of syllables is:
  • first line = 5 syllables
  • second line = 7 syllables
  • third line = 5 syllables

Here is an example I wrote in class today:

Mole is underground (5 syllables)
Tearing up my dirt and grass (7 syllables)
Won't he go away? (5 syllables)

Please share one of your original haiku poems!

    Busy bee flying
    Bringing nectar to his hive
    To make sweet honey.
