This page will feature short haikus I put together and may be updated whenever I come up with more of them. For those who don’t know a haiku is a short poem that at least in English is five syllables then seven then five. Traditionally it is a bit more flexible, but one thing that is a key sign of traditional haikus is an emphasis on seasonal imagery.
Haiku #1: The Storm Oh sound the tempest Brilliant blue fire bolts Pierce a pitch black sky Haiku #2: Thanksgiving Food and family Football, turkey, and parades Thanksgiving again Haiku #3: Love To love each other To be together each year In sickness and health Haiku #4: Muddy paws Chilly autumn rain Wet noses and muddy paws Puppies chase warmth Haiku #5: Loss What is life but loss Friends and lovers come and go Like waves on the shore Haiku #6: Meetings Meetings and partings As we journey to the sea Leaves on the current Haiku #7: Winter Leaves cling to branches Until winter strips them bare And rain turns to snow
