"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
