"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

[Tommi]

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 :elefant:
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 :sheep::sheep::sheep:
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:elefant: :lips:

Return home and look at the yard :cuttree:
It's nap time, oh no it's morning
i worked just too tooo hard..

[PoeticWitch]

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

[Hudson]

candy corn in couch...

[violaine]

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

[Kast]

Sugar Baby stuck in teeth,
What a glob of messed up mess.
Good to be among friends.

[shadows papa]

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

[shadows papa]

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]

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

[violaine]

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

[shadows papa]

Wolf stalks silently
Seeking the rushing lifeblood
Of prey held captive

[Passionaria]

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

:blueheels:Passionaria

[violaine]

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]

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

[violaine]

flurry of starlings
unconscious of gatecrasher
rufous bars gray-blue

[Blaze]

I sit lonely in an empty parking lot

Oh bank close on Saturday

I know, I know, come on Blaze, that's not a haiku :readfineprint:

[Pixie]

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

[always2late]

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

[afixer]

it was that very moment

doom and gloom from inside her head

that moment erased all doubt

[Tommi]

I watched the grains of sand piling on high shimmering
glistening mound with one sparkling peak
quiclky I turn the hourglass sideways
time in my hands I heard it
quietly slipping
silence
now
somewhere peaks build again
turning it over and over starting again
watch ticking, sounding, beating, earth
sparkling dew dropping earth shares her tears
I can't stop the sands of time, now the heart not beating
seeing a baby I hear the laughter and joy another life now throbbing

[Passionaria]

being Daddies girl
you make naughty feel so good
how can I resist?

erotic secrets

breathless surrender

[violaine]

bushnell straps go through
crops of flat land and sugar
sliding down my jeans

[Tommi]

:cherry:
Maraschino stem
chewed from juicy round and plump
knotted now for you
:cherry:

[Spirit Dancer]

Alabaster sky
Floating overheard drifting
secretly I'm there

[Tommi]

Five bushes in bloom
Soon to add a color new
Six years cancer free

[afixer]

things that you just know

the ten year old enlightens me often

trust is such a crap-shoot

[Spirit Dancer]

My fallen brother
starshine moonbeams glisten now
watching from above

[Passionaria]

the love in my touch
fluttering butterfly wings
caressing your face

Monday Monday, It's
another Monday and no
Monday night football

:supermanbooth:

[afixer]

yes, you would know me

shooter take aim

better than the time before

[kittygrrl]

Love is a fire
toxic consumed desire
makes you a liar

[Femmultimate]

no regrets I said
growing every day I see
regrets can be wise

[chai~]

you sexy hunka
my eyes mosey all over
the butch you wear well

In my mind I crawl
over the playground that is
your body's stature

sweet nothing's whispered
butterfly kisses placed here
and there again and

again, till you swoon
and crave all of me like I
crave nothing but you

[Hollylane]

Lips touching, moistly
Fingers lock and intertwine
Magic soon ensues...

[chai~]

shaken then stirred, please
lick sip bite rinse and repeat
no booze required

[Kätzchen]

Whispering softly,
Warm winds blow upon me;
Lays on sand, dreaming.

[SleepyButch]

The empty branches
Filling with life on each stroke
Vibrant and Alive

[SleepyButch]

Wait and want and hope
Each day seems like a lifetime
Journey far apart

[Tommi]

Tropical storms blow
earth on her axis spinning
quakes in a swarm brew

[Kast]

Leaves swirling fast
In an autumn wind tunnel.
I unplug the drain.

---------------

Eagles soar with wings
Forever, in the day's sun.
My spirit alone.

---------------

The days fly past fast
Moving fast into the next.
Stone skips on water.

---------------

Throwing, missing point
Boomerang hits me in head.
Women's responses.

---------------

You're a cat, meowww!
I'm a loving puppy dog.
Butch/femme dynamics.

---------------

Writing haiku - stop!
Very addictive poetry.
Eating 'tater' chips.

[SleepyButch]

Missing the warm waves
Crashing over and over
Against my body

[SleepyButch]

A new door opens
Endless possibilities
The old door remains

[SleepyButch]

Close my eyes now
In the darkness I see you
You are mine tonight

[Siren's Song]

Storm clouds gathering
Thunderstorm is eminent
electric yearning

[Kätzchen]

At risk is great loss,
Great loss is riskier too:
No want to lose you.

[BoDy*ShOt]

i am a new book to you..
dog-eared and highlighted
my spine stroked with curious fingers
a forgotten flower pressed between my pages

[Siren's Song]

breath heavy with sleep
comfort is the melody
expressed as you dream

[Hollylane]

Sunlit countenance
tilting up to waiting lips...
Warmth permeates all

[Siren's Song]

lingering within
forbidden realities
sweet deliciousness

plucked while tree ripened
juicy escapades devoured
then vanished like smoke

[Hollylane]

According to some...

Eight months of billing
Only one lonely bill paid
Equals good client?

According to me...

Cordial behavior
Along with commitments kept
Respected client

[Siren's Song]

a dragonfly's wings
iridescent shimmering
whispers of magic

[Siren's Song]

heart song and starlight
irresistible magic
unfolds in your light

[ONLY]

The look in your eyes.....
The sweet soft kiss of your lips.....
You are what I need.....
