Your assignment is to write a haiku poem that incorporates some of what you have learned (or already know) about the composition of the atmosphere. 

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry.  In English, a haiku poem consists of 3 lines; the lines must contain 5, 7, and 5 syllables. 

Here's an example I wrote (it meets the 5 - 7 - 5 syllable requirement but is not a very good example of true Haiku poetry).

Why am I giving you an assignment like this? 
Why not?  Also I am surprised at how creative NATS 101 students often are and am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
