Haikus

So for one poetry assignment I had to write a group of makeshift haikus. I say makeshift because I kind of mutilated the Haiku syllable pattern. The syllables for the lines are supposed to go 5-7-5 and I did 7-5-7. Let's just say I did it on purpose for creative effect. :)

A raindrop on the smooth leaf
It hangs on the edge
Will it never let it go?

Dark clouds taunt us from above
I shiver alone
But together, we stay warm

The water is now rising
But on this high hill
We’ll not feel a single splash
