Everyone who sees this post their own haikus. A haiku has to have 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the second line and 5 syllables on the last line.

Leaf life cycle
I lie on my back
looking at the cobalt sky
Lime,chrome,rose, goodbye.

Anyone who understood that is very intelligent.

Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, that, although very short, portrays much beauty in nature and the world around us.

Notice that all haiku examples carry traditional references to nature and season, so the poet, in his own words, makes the reader appreciate the world around us.

Here are some of my own haiku I've written before.

The Orchids          March 2011

Late fall, early spring
Beautiful Orchids take wing
and rise like the sun

Song of a Palm Tree                September 2011

The Swaying of a
Palm tree, sweet but vibrant song
on a windy day

Expressions                               July 2012

The bird spreads its wings
My heart does so in pages
and thoughtfully sings
