I have checked the 3 web pages Saori shows me here. It shows me she has done a lot of reading and has found 3 very good pages of information about her topic.

It is now generally agreed that the earliest poems were songs, prayers, and incantations to gods. One tentacle of the spread of poetry has been traced from Persia to India, up to China and over to Japan. Even before the written records in Japan (760 AD) people spoke tanka to gods and in praise of the reigning monarchy. Tanka, with its 5-7-5-7-7 sound syllable count, its lofty ancestry, its shortness and ease for recall, became the favorite poetical form of the Japanese Imperial Court. And thus, both reached their highest popularity and brilliance during the same centuries -- ninth to eleventh.

3 I know she got her quote from the 3rd web page in her list.

Here we have some problems. Saori's quote is too long. She should only have one SENTENCE, not one PARAGRAPH. Also, her quote is about TANKA, not her topic of HAIKU. She needs to select a specific quote about Haiku. Or one about poetry, like the one I have highlighted above.

Hope this helps you to get your homework done.
