Haiku

I have my third year elective students writing hiakus for their cultural festival. I've written some as well:

just a short email "see you soon!" a small promise but a big hope a golden leaf falls covering the body of a dead cicada I hear September tiptoeing near. Huh? August? I don't remember

on the train ride home, see the sunset swoops and skips between the lamp posts not enough typhoon to wash farmers' hand prints off the rice paddies two cappucinos empty table between cups no conversation

The gap above is the direct result of my elementary HTML skills.
