Haiku
As we learned, this kind of poem, albeit short and seemingly simple, actually is packs a poetic punch! The drive for the haiku poet is to paint a picture with words, but s/he is limited to three lines--the first line is five syllables, the second seven syllables, and the third is five. It seems easy, but give it a try (writing a haiku is your Poem #4). It can be more of a challenge than meets the eye. You can also check out some examples of haiku here. Although these poets bend the syllable rules, or the syllable count gets lost in translation, the power of haiku is still present. Make sure you follow the basic rules though!
Good luck!
