<p> Seana O’Brien Geology 304 Project 11/16/07</p><p>I chose to write some haiku poems for my project. Dr. Ashworth stated that we may write a poem and after I realized that that included haiku I decided to see how many haiku poems that I could come up with. I wrote eight different haiku poems, some of which are kind of weak, but some of them are pretty good if I do say so myself. The materials that I used were the word list supplied by Dr. </p><p>Ashworth to the class, and my geology 105 textbook, which I have cited below. The reason that I chose to write haiku for my project is was that I like to do creative things. I am an accounting major and not geology so I figured that I would not write a very good scientific paper. I really enjoyed this class and I would recommend it to other people.</p><p>Lutgens, Frederick K., and Edward J. Tarbeck. Earth: An Introduction to Physical Geology.
