Instead of our normal reviews of others projects Rafael has instead chosen for us to write haikus. Haikus are Japanese poems that contain a 5-7-5 verse, where the numbers count as the number of syllables allowed per verse. I actually really prefer to write these haikus because they are very easy to write, but contain a lot of meaning through the usage of very few words. I feel that it has also helped my vocabulary as well because I constantly have to find new, better words to express myself and the ideas that I have or have seen. At first I felt a little weird and silly writing these strange poems but I've grown to like them and find a new way of expressing my ideas. I like this exercise a lot as well because it forces me to practice my vocabulary.
