February's Olympic challenge - Haiku poem
Can you create a Haiku poem about the Olympics, that is linked to our country of China?
Haiku poems are of Japanese origin.
A haiku poem only has 3 lines. One the first line, there should be 5 syllables, on the second line, there should be 7 syllables, and on the last line there should be 5 syllables. That's it!
Here is an example:
We stand still to watch
Victory, passion, heartbreak
In arms, side by side.

I look forward to reading them.
