Haiku due Monday, May 12.

In your journal create a haiku poem. A haiku is a three line poem. Line one has 5 syllables.  Line two has 7 syllables. Line three has 5 syllables.

Lines one and three should contain an exact rhyme...

Perfect rhyme — also called full rhyme, exact rhyme,^[1] or true rhyme — is a form of rhyme between two words or phrases, satisfying the following conditions:^[2][3]

• The stressed vowel sound in both words must be identical, as well as any subsequent sounds. For example "sky" and "high"; "skylight" and "highlight".
• The articulation that precedes the vowel sound must differ. For example, "green" and "spleen" is a perfect rhyme, while "leave" and "believe" is not.

Lines 1 and 3 should have a slant rhyme with line 2...

Half rhyme or slant rhyme, sometimes called near-rhyme or lazy rhyme, is a type of rhyme formed by words with similar but not identical sounds. In most instances, either the vowel segments are different while the consonants are identical, or vice versa.

Sample:

Dark tower, my mind
I climb to peaks of ivory
In you, peace I find. 

Here mind and find have the same stresses and sounds (perfect rhyme) and they share the "I" sound in "ivory" with the "I" sound in "mind" and "find" (slant rhyme).
