"What are some examples of Haiku poetry

An English written haiku poem is usually focused on nature (this includes seasons). The poem expresses a single feeling or impression. It contains three lines that do not rhyme. The syllables are traditionally broken up this way:

Line One: Five Syllables

Line Two: Seven Syllables

Line Three: Five Syllables

Some examples:

Rain like emotion
Expressive, cleansing the air
Now I need not cry
The clouds sing softly
Of division and limits
I do not listen
the colour of rain
flowing freely from the sky
relief to the land

snapping a dry twig
between thumb and foprefinger
I break the silence

(-- Ellen Weston, Moonset, The Newspaper, Autumn/Winter

and some more fun..

"*Remember, punctuation and indention is arbitrary (meaning it’s up to you, the author to put it in your poem)

Here's your chance to try your hand at writing Haiku. If you want some inspiration, visit the one of the many Haiku pages online.

The beaches waves hit
Sounding of flooding water
Soothes aches all over
-Tiffany, age 13, L.A.

Silence around us
Our watchful eyes hear the world
Hands do the talking
-Jennifer, Virginia

To be a leader,
One must first dream then act out,
fulfillment is yours.
-Mrs. C Troop 280, St. Petersburg, Florida

The wind is blowing
It is blowing very hard
I don't like the wind.
-Amanda, Alabama

Saturday morning off and running

Weighing what to do today
Cleaners groceries no time for sunning
Stop at Home Depot and come what may
Bulbs for the garden
Envronmetally friendly yard spray

Tools and new gadgets then
Off to Sears,cart filled with Craftsmen

Call the girl while enroute just to say
Honey , I love you. It's a beautiful day

Return home and look at the yard

It's nap time, oh no it's morning
i worked just too tooo hard..

PoeticWitch · 11-14-2009, 09:45 AM

um going to give this a try... but haikus were not my strong suit.. and I dont like having to put only a certain amount of words in a line.. so please dont be mad at me for not following that particular rule...

thou low stain perish
thee happier in decay
wisdom in death

oh yeah I should have warned you.. I am rather morbid... you can always tell me to go somewhere else..I will not be insulted or upset in any way.. so cheerio have a nice day

scratching maple leaf
quivering, indecisive
hovers like a crab
ready for some feet to chase
on a windless trail

Sugar Baby stuck in teeth,
What a glob of messed up mess.

Wolf waits in silence
As his mate heals her heart wounds
Solitude like night

Hawk soars far above
Unfettered by earthly bonds
Free from sorrow now

Bit · 11-18-2009, 01:39 PM

silly little dog
you are your mama's delight
please don't bark at night

violaine · 11-27-2009, 07:34 PM

look just to the left
and focus on the fencing
struggle in the night

shadows papa · 11-27-2009, 09:58 PM

Wolf stalks silently
Seeking the rushing lifeblood
Of prey held captive

Passionaria · 11-28-2009, 03:31 AM

living on steamed milk
lithe cats, masters of movement
devoted to pain

it begins so young
expressing pain beautifully
such fierce eloquence

when you watch her dance
you will never see her flinch
pain and art collide

Ballet, the dance of
eloquent masochism
art on bleeding toes

Passionaria

violaine · 11-28-2009, 02:40 PM

streams in november
measured beats, calling to flocks
en route to the roost

i feel them pulling
high in their sky heading east
kissed awake by sun

shadows papa · 11-29-2009, 12:11 PM

My two dogs sleeping
One on legs one on my chest
Furry warmth soothes me
