The haiku! This form of poetry is fun to write, but also requires the poet to consider language choice closely. “A traditional Japanese haiku is a three-line poem with seventeen syllables, written in a 5/7/5 syllable count. Often focusing on images from nature, haiku emphasizes simplicity, intensity, and directness of expression” (http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/text/poetic-form-haiku).
Choose one of the following photos (or more than one) and create a haiku about it. My example is based on the last photo:
Bubbles ev’rywhere;
Ephemeral summer joy…
How I will miss you!

When your pages turn
The world around disappears
Time becomes the past.
I see simple lines
Going so far i cant see
Never ending view.
Horses eating grass
Nature’s beauty in action
Sight I never see
Surrounded by blue
I cannot escape from here
My fire is dying
Death is watching me
Its yellow glare pieces me
The beast walk closer
The horizon goes infintely
Horses are eating grass close to me
it’s time to take opportunitty
Horizon goes far
Horses are kept in the fence
Hope to catch the sky
Hey, Andy — not a haiku!
An ominous stare
The cat looks very hungry
Planning my demise
This is the season of all things grow
Trees turn green sprout
Everything is full of vitality
Not a haiku, Tina!
Hair flowing in wind
Chewing grass below their feet
Sun gazing on them
Beauty in the sky
Beauty in the green fields
Beauty everywhere
Almost! Need one more syllable in your second line!
People said that I’m weird
Because I do things that I want
I’m a unique horse.
Brown horse in the back
Oh how lonely must you be;
Why not dine with friends?
Adventure, wonder,
knowledge at hand ev’rywhere,
books take me through time.
Blue sky shining down
Green fields in all directions
Shetlands do not care
little tiny cat
someday will be big and fat
or maybe it won’t
human with no head
she left it in a tower
over looking fields
My little pony
Stuck in this tiny fence, here
l guess l’ll stay here
books carry stories
they make us intelligent
see a new chapter
How far is the horizon
separate sky and land,
I guess it never ends.
Almost, Tina! But you need five syllables in your first and last lines and seven in the second. (not words, but syllables)
Oh television
How lazy you have made me
I wish to stay here
I see the blue sky
Oh how lovely the day is
I see the white clouds
i’m a lazy cat
my favourite things are at home
cakes sweets chips and fish
I am a cat meow
I forgot to write this poem
please be on time meow
Alas, it is not a haiku.Line one should be only 5 syllables, line two should be only 7 syllables, line three should be only 5 syllables.
Cat picture
I see the hooman
I wonder what he doin
So I goes and sees
Bubbles float around
Without a known terminus
Or seen beginning
May is almost here
The end for us is nearing
I will miss you all
cats cats in the field
Chasing mice and bugs all day
Sleeping in the sun
Yeah that’s a rainbow
But look at me, I’m cute
I’m cuter than the rainbow
