Is she in mourning
In sleeves of grey upon grey
Tinged with blue and white?
To the east, the sky's sad hems
Drag themselves across the hills.

This might work for me. I was reminded that my 8th grade teacher had me write haiku for whatever the essay assignment was instead of the traditional essay that everyone else got as homework. Seems I never had a problem finding 100 words or more.

So 31 syllables... hmmm.
