			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, we&#8217;re <a href="http://www.sonlight.com/5.html#core" target="_blank">studying the Eastern Hemisphere</a> in homeschool this year and we&#8217;ve just about finished with Japan. Apparently, the entire household has been somewhat taken by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku" target="_blank">haiku</a> as we&#8217;ve been extemporaneously composing them for about a few days now. Here&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got so far&#8230;</p>
<p>Amanda wrote:</p>
<p><em>Playing with some string<br />
Sitting on her favorite seat<br />
Our beautiful cat</em></p>
<p>Emily wrote:</p>
<p><em>Beautiful cat lies<br />
Half asleep in the warm sun<br />
Please do not disturb!</em></p>
<p>Shannon sensed a theme here&#8230;</p>
<p>Shannon wrote:</p>
<p><em>Supreme effort earns<br />
Shaky success: zipper up!<br />
Better not sit down</em></p>
<p><em>Bickering siblings<br />
A sudden silence descends<br />
Mom suspects mischief</em></p>
<p><em>Visitors welcome<br />
But must have less than five legs<br />
Bring me the ant spray</em></p>
<p><em>I pick up my flute<br />
Traitor kitty slinks away<br />
Thanks for your support</em></p>
<p>In light of recent automotive troubles, I wrote:</p>
<p><em>The car sounds funny<br />
Hard to steer, smells like bad eggs<br />
This is gonna hurt</em></p>
<p>and Shannon wrote:</p>
<p><em>Colored lights appear<br />
Weird vibrations, burning smell<br />
The mechanic smiles</em></p>
<p>There will undoubtedly be more, hence the new &#8220;haiku&#8221; category I&#8217;ve added to the site&#8230;</p>
