Paper Cranes And Haiku

So this week all the classes were assigned to make paper cranes because of the belief that making enough will make a wish of yours come true. The legend says one person must make 1000, but i don't think we are sticking to close to it. So each student was assigned to make 10. (I think) Mrs. J told us they would be going in her room as well as in the Green Room, which will also look nice.
The other half of the assignment was to make a haiku, meaning to make a short poem with 5 syllables on the 1st line, 7 syllables on the 2nd, and 5 once more on the 3rd. It also had to pertain to the holiday season in a way. So here goes mine:

My Computer Broke
In The Winter, Cold Winds Blow
Candy Canes Are Good

My computer did actually break, i dropped it on cement right outside my house on Sunday with a candy cane in my mouth. Maybe the wind blew it. Anyway, that's the reasoning for my Haiku.
