It’s Friday, so take some creative time for yourself and write a haiku.

The Rules: Haiku consist of three lines.
The first line has 5 syllables.
The second line has 7 syllables.
The third line has 5 syllables.

Haiku often contain references to nature, and the third line may hold a surprise, an unexpected twist.
