Haiku

Haiku is a three-line Japanese poems of just 17 syllables.

It is a form of literature that captures each moment by expressing all that you feel in short sentences.

Mr Herman van Rompuy, the European Union's new president is fond of writing haiku. He's winning fans in Japan.

There are about two million haiku writers around the world.

Haiku sounds interesting. I might give it a try one day when the creative juices are flowing. It's quite similar to tweeting. Short, sweet and simple. Hmmm...

That's fun, Audrey. I write some on my Jim's P&P Place. A true haiku expresses wonders of nature, the senryū are personal.
People call most any of it haiku though. I try to seperate mine.

Then you write as you feel is correct.

Hi Audrey,

I love to read haiku, but it's hard to write a good one. Here is a quick try:

A beautiful day.
More like spring then November.
Nature's gift to us.

See, not very good, but it has the haiku feel, maybe?

My daughter and granddaughters and son left a couple of hours ago for home. I miss them!

Hope you're having a lovely Sunday.

Hugs,

Hi again Audrey ~~ Thanks for your comments. I sure have enjoyed the cooler days, but know it will soon be much hotter.
Did you hear that Facebook have kicked off 3500 pedophiles lately and good riddance.
Take great care my friend, Love,
