The bee flies quickly. It turns around and stings me. Then falls to the ground. ~Unknown


 * **Type of poem:** ** Haiku


 * **Why it is considered a Haiku:** **

This poem is considered a haiku because of the number of lines and syllables that it has. It has 3 lines, which a standard haiku has. It also has 5 syllables in the first line ([the] [bee] [flies] [quick] [ly]), 7 in the next ([it] [turns] [a] [round] [and] [stings] [me]), and 5 in the next ([then] [falls] [to] [the] [ground]). If it didn't have these characteristics, it would just be considered a short free-verse poem. Those two characteristics are what makes a haiku what it is.
