Do You Like Haikus?

Sometimes, a little silliness just makes you smile. =)



Typically, an English haiku combines form, content, and language succinctly by adopting a 5-7-5 form.

It consists of 3 lines and a total of 17 syllables :
The first line is made up of 5 syllables,
The second line has 7,
And the final line has 5 syllables.

A constant fave haiku poet of mine is Ryusui.

  1. In all this still cool
    is the moon also sleeping?
    There too, in the pool?

  2. A lost child crying
    Stumbling over the dark fields.
    Catching fireflies.
Do You like haikus too?
