Haiku for you.

[Diane Amberg]

 Let's get those creative juices flowing. For those of you who have forgotten, or never had it in school, Haiku is a simple form of short, expressive 3 line poem that is based on word creativity rather than rhyme. The first line has only 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables and the third again has 5.  On the one hand it's easy because it's so short, but then again it's hard because each word is very important.
                  The trees catch the wind.
                  Branches bend and sway and sigh.
                  The rain follows soon.


  Ok, now you try one.

school kids return to classes
house quiet again

black, yellow and white caterpillars
Monarch butterflies fly.

 Two very nice poems!       The 5, 7, 5 is the goal, but doesn't have to be exact always.

 Everytime I woke up last night, my brain was trying to Haiku.  However, couldn't wake up enough to write anything down. Didn't have time to think about it this morning. I bet I'll come up with something over this long weekend.

Morning sun shines warm
Flower fairy softly shakes
Pollen from fair hair

Good morning bright sun
Peeking over green tree tops
Bringing Gods warm smile

Here is another one that I woke up with this morning..

Fly away with me
Take my hand and we will  soar
Flying to the stars


Well, the creative juices are done and I am ready to start my walk.
Exercised the mind..and now I am exercising this old bedraggled carcass of mine.

[Roma Jean Turner]

Everyone is doing beautiful Haiku..........all if have so far is:

Haiku Haiku Not
My brain is in a dead space
Maybe tomorrow
