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..

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.
Good to be among friends.

Raindrops swiftly fall
Crying tears when i cannot
Storms rage on inside

Shinning blue waves
Surround me as I sleep
Floating my dreams awake

My eyes see nothing
As my mind paints its portrait
A hopeful future

Floating with hope's desire
I begin to swim onward
Brush strokes leading me

Streaks of yellow and red
Blend into my painted life
Mixing truth and fear

Fading red to pink
White changes the course in route
Splashing a new dream

Jewels of purple chance
Offer this painting a home
Protected from lies

Lies that carry hurt
Smearing on unwanted black
Changing what began

Drowning the past deep
I start again surrounded
Floating my dreams awake

My heart flies apart
In the wasteland of my chest
Crows in a churchyard
