Haiku
Write a haiku. Poet.com explains this form in a wonderful article:

A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression.

One of my students can relate to this as she crafted over a dozen haiku :) Can you?
