Haiku and Acrostic
Haiku
-
Old crow in command
Always foraging for food
On his daily route
-
Water slaps the shore
Against the white crystal sand
Under a hot sun
-
Crickets chirp loudly
At growling six-headed monsters
Bring us good luck
Acrostic
-
Sun
Universe's Light
Natural light
-
City of bustle, noise, and culture,
Hub of the midwest,
Illinois'proudest gem
Creates a bright light.
All the world looks to her
Glamor, her ambition, and her vitality.
Oh, jewel of the plains!
-
So needed in the world
Can be rewarding
Happy setting
Oh, the places you'll go with this
Overwhelming at times, but rewarding
Loves people
