  1. Haikus are great fun,
    for everyone to play on,
    so come and like it.

    1)Some facts i have learned about haikus are that the 1st and 3rd line have to have 5 sylabols whereas the 2nd line has 7 sylabols.

    2)I chose these world well because the really came to me word by word they showed what i was trying to exsplain about haikus. I chose the word 'fun' because it really reprsents how I think haikus are.

    3) I would change the 2nd line to
    Everyone to play now,
    because i think the words fit better and it sounds alot better than
    for everyone to play on because it sounds like you want them to play on them,

    4)Becky is lovely,
    everywhere she goes she helps,
    the people in need.
