MOMMA (Day Four)
Hello you! Thank you for checking out this article. If you have been following my blog lately, you would know that I started a 30-day poetry challenge at the beginning of the month. Today is day four and the challenge for the day is one of foreign origin.. to me, anyway.
It is called a Haiku.
A Haiku is a three-line poem of Japanese origin in which the first and last line have five (5) syllables and the second (middle) line has seven (7) syllables. It is mostly about nature.

I decided to write one dedicated to my mum so that’s where the title of this article gets it’s origin.
