Haiku

Cats are starved to death
To make them hunt for themselves
I think it is sad

A Haiku is a Japanese poem. The only rules in it is that you have to have five, seven, five, claps. They're called syllables. The first line has to say five. The second line has to say seven and the third line has to say five. I wrote this one for a little party where we learned how Japanese people ate and how they made bouncey balls with feathers in them. They made kites and lots of things came from Japan. We made these things too. We ate rice with chop sticks and we ate egg rolls. I ate the sushi but nobody else ate them because they had seaweed around them. They were goo-ooo-ood!

I had a chinese dress as a costume and my sister wore a chinese dress too. My brother wore a karate outfit. We were the only one's there dressed up. Even the people who did it weren't dressed up.

Next week we'll learn about America.
