Eighth grade notes more than love haiku

Do you remember innocent note-passing? It was just you and your middle school crush engaged in a series of pointless flattery. I think this simple act should be resurrected at this point in our lives. Wouldn’t it be great if your significant other just dropped you a quick message, whether it’s on paper, Facebook or e-mail? I think the best way to brighten someone’s day with a note is through the act of writing a Haiku.
This Japanese poetry form is arranged in three lines: the first contains five syllables, the second contains seven syllables and the third contains five syllables. I went through the work of coming up with a few examples to express any type of feelings you may be having. It is important to note if you use any of mine, I want any royalties you may make off my brilliance.
