The History and Artistry of Haiku

Ribit, ribit sounds
So annoying me today
Please go away frog!

Stray cat catches mice
Living in our garage all night
Please decide to stay

Footprints crisscrossing fields,
To whom do they all belong?
Hooves of sly brown deer.

One big, buff brown buck,
Blood drips from the painful blow,
Sorrow in my eyes.
