Okay, I did it. At least I think that I did. Below is my final poem, but first I’ll share some of my initial attempts.
1. My love of nature
has grown slowly year by year.
Now it is so dear.
2. Haiku is silly.
No fun in this poetry.
Poetry should rhyme.
3. Here I sit with pen.
I want to write a haiku.
Oh no! What to do!
My Haiku
Crooked Creek was home
but not now, it looks foreign.
Gone so many years.
Your Turn

Crooked Creek by Sue Mattingly 
Quite good haikus,Sue.
You nailed it every time.
Rhyme does indeed pay.

Love your attempts at Haiku. I, like you, was not aware of this form of poetry until an adult. I think it must not have been used much during our school days. Poetry had to rhyme.
So soon I will attempt to write one, but it may take me awhile.

When I had to write poetry in college, this was the kind I liked. It was easier, and the recipe was easy. I am not a virtual poet, but Haiku was easier, and amusing.
