Haiku



There She is with that Camera Again!


 A CREATIVE HARBOR

HAIKU


My first attempt at Haiku ~ which is Japanese poetry that has 3 lines and the first line has 5 syllables, second line has 7 syllables and the third has 5. Please let me know if I have done these correctly. I love poetry and to be able to write Haiku is even more loving to me because I am creating my own poetry.

HAIKU



RESPITE


Dog sleeps now today
Rest always on time here 
High above us.


SHINE

Shine on my dear one
Nearer and dearer to me
Ever on my mind.


HOLIDAY TIME

Holiday times
Gaily for some today true
Me a bit delayed.




Hugs and namaste,

    Well, I don't know much about haiku, either. I like them and don't mean to be a party pooper, but the first and last ones don't have the right amount of syllables, do they?

    I believe if it comes from your heart, there is no wrong or right when making art, be it with words or a pencil and everything in between. You did a fine job. I got the essence of these wonderful haiku. Glad to have you amongst us on Fridays. As you know, I like coming to this safe harbor.

    Peace

    I didn't know much about haiku either...so I looked it up...and there are many different ways to write one. It is about conveying a feeling, wrapped in a bit of mystery...so I think yours are wonderful!

    Welcome to Haiku My Heart Fridays, Carol. It seems that there is no wrong or right with haiku...as long as you get the correct number of syllables in each line, you're set! I especially liked "Shine."

    I think that is the sweetest photo of a yorkie, ever. I love it! I love your haiku too, and Lisa is right, there are many kinds of haiku, not just the 5-7-5. Yours are great and I like Shine a lot too. Welcome!
    xo,
