__** Student Assignment: **__
__Task:__ Write 3 haiku poems that are inspired from the picture above.

__Remember, a haiku poem__: - is made up of 3 lines only - does not rhyme - follows the 5-7-5 syllable format (meaning the first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables).

Traditionally, haiku poems also make a comparison between two unlike things and make a reference to nature. You may choose to include these final two elements if you wish, but you are only required to follow the three listed above.

Keep in mind that your poems are to be //inspired// by the photo above. That doesn't mean that they all have to be about a kitten (necessarily). Maybe the setting, colors, or expression on the kitten's face reminds you of someone or something else. (See sample poem below).

Example poem:

//Oh, blue-eyed kitten// (5) //What is it you have spotted?// (7) //Crouched, ready to pounce.// (5)


 * Good luck & have fun! :o)**
