The Old PondAn old silent pond...A frog jumps into the pond,splash! Silence again.Haiku

The MountainThe mountain frames the skyAs a shadow of an eagle flies byWith clouds hanging at its edge A climber proves his courage on its rocky ledgeQuatrain5

KittensThe kittens stretch, like a stretchy headband!They go outside for some fresh air.A fox sees them and the kittens run back,Where it is safe.Their owner picks them upAnd lies them on herLap and they go to sleep.MEOW!!Free verse
