“WHAT IS HAIKU”

Snippets of Haiku

Intensifying feelings

Clear in its structure.

 

Follows a pattern

Of five, then seven, then five.

Cannot preamble.

 

It focuses words

Concentrating their choosing.

Therein lies its strength.

 

EXAMPLE

 

EMPTINESS

“Silence is golden”

Not when loneliness prevails.

Voices fill a void.

 

LOST LOVE

Grey eyes , warm with love

Lock with mine across the room.

Our love, our secret.

 

Summers long hot days

Bring nights of steamy passion.

Skin on skin, slick, wet!

 

Too late, I missed you.

Not aware how much I cared.

Now I yearn daily.
