HAIKU

Haiku is a non rhyming poem with 3 lines of 17 syllables: 5 syllables in the first line, 7 in the second, 5 in the third.

                    Harvest moon this night
                    Hospital nurseries are full
                    Change is in the air

                    First there were 5 friends
                    Waiting to be a mother
                    Now only 2 wait

                    Peyton came in third
                    Daughter, granddaughter, sister
                    Cherished from the start

                    Joy, tears and laughter
                    Continue as uncle, aunts
                    Visit the wee babe
