Haiku

Write a haiku. Here are the guidelines:

1. Syllable counts should be adhered to if possible:

first line - 5 syllables
second line - 7 syllables
third line - 5 syllables.

2. Observations on nature are most common.

3. Time is also important: time of day, time of year, season, time of life.
