Haiku Poems
#haiku
Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, similar to senryu. Haiku are short poems, comprising of only three lines. The first and last lines of a haiku should have five syllables and the middle line should have seven. Unlike senryu, Haiku have a predominant theme of nature, and sometimes have no reference to humans or human artefacts.

an early leaf falls
as the summer slowly dies
the new season's birth

Late summer mornings
How I long for cooler days
Green and yellow shades

You Were Fire
you never slow burned
a wildfire from the first day
the last straw ashen

Sweet Succulent
Devour my nectar.
Licking honey my heart drips.
My soul is whip cream.
Licking honey my heart drips.
My soul is whip cream.

Thistles and Thorns
sweet thistles and thorns
prickly is the growth of love
two hearts bleed softly

Strength
her petals are firm
railing against the weather
she has been through hell

Easier to turn away
Why don't you read me
Can't you see I'm not happy
Go on, ignore me
Can't you see I'm not happy
Go on, ignore me

Isn't it beautiful what was
We are cameras,
Desperately capturing,
A fleeting sunset.
Desperately capturing,

Lots of Haiku
Reversed Haiku
Put his hand in his rose
Couldn't buy the heart
Decided to steal her pocket
Bi-reversed Haiku
Put his hand in his heart
Couldn't buy the pocket
Decided to steal her rose
Given Haiku
no given to reverse...
no verse to be given
uneven just uneven
Put his hand in his rose
Couldn't buy the heart
Decided to steal her pocket
Bi-reversed Haiku
Put his hand in his heart
Couldn't buy the pocket
Decided to steal her rose
Given Haiku
no given to reverse...
no verse to be given
uneven just uneven

Wrong side of the street
Paradise is here
Two blocks down you won't go near
Most avoid with fear
Two blocks down you won't go near
Most avoid with fear
