Haiku in the News

   Today I am going to post a haiku about an article telling how kids clean their neighborhood up. The article was found at Time for kids and the title is Building a Better World. It really grabbed my attention. You should try to read it to sometime. 


 As you may know a haiku has a specific pattern. Here it is,


First line-5 syllables


Second line-7 syllables


Last line-5 syllables


Got it?


 This is my haiku!!!


                A Better World



             Camille and Wissam


       They are all just kids who care


            About the whole world


(A Better World is the title so it does not have to be limited to so many syllables.)
