THREE JANUARY HAIKU ~ ENJOY

BRIAN & ANGELA

JANUARY ~ Month

of ice and snow and frosted

cobwebs beauiful !

 

JANUARY ~ Cold

dark nights ~ short days ~ all nature

blanketed in snow !

 

JANUARY ~ COME !

a bleak month ~ All December 

fun and parties GONE !

 

Thanks for visiting ! HAIKU have 17 syllables in three lines

5 7 5 and must be about nature and not rhyme. Try one

for yourself in my FUSION ~  MONTH BY MONTH HAIKU !

Love and every Blessing  for 2017 ~ BRIAN XOX

    I do like this - must have a go at haiku - thanks for posting them.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      Thanks MICHEAL ~ HAIKU are comparatively easy because it's all about the RHYTHM (5 - 7 - 5) and not the rhyme ! Please add a MONTH (in HAIKU) to my FUSION ~ Thanks BRIAN

    • Michael Edwards

      I'll give it a go
      my contribution added
      done it was for fun.


      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        Thanks MICHEAL for a great personal contribution for APRIL ~ great Month to be born as long as it's not the FIRST. By the way yours is what we call a HAIKU-PLUS 5~7~7 There is also a TANKA which allows a footnote explanation of the HAIKU which is 5-7-5-7-7 ~ OK Thanks BRIAN

        • Michael Edwards

          Now it's getting complicated - will try a simple poem using 5-7-5 - will post it as soon as I get time to write it.

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks MICHAEL ~ I have posted MAY ~ please try JUNE for a perfect 5~7~5 Thenks ~ BRIAN

            • Michael Edwards

              Now I\'ve got the hang of it I\'ve just written a poem made of 5-7-5 - can\'t post it until the morning. Just done July - we\'ll get to December yet.

                  Thanks WILLY ~ HAIKU are always a challenge and always fun ! BRIAN

                • Christina8

                  Very nice Haikus! I didn't know they couldn't rhyme, I had just finished some. Always educational to review your poems! Hugs--christina

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    WELL CHRIS ~ If you look at classical HAIKU they never rhyme also they must be about nature & seasons. If they are not they are called SENRYU. The extended form is a TANKA (5-7-5-7-7). The last two lines are to explain the meaning of the HAIKU or SENRYU ! There is a lot of snobbery concerning HAIKU but I am tolerant (as you know) and If an MPS Member posts a poem and calls it a HAIKU it is a HAIKU ! Pleased you liked it Hugs for you too BRIAN
