I wanted to open this thread for the fun of sharing your, each individual, Haiku. Im by no means asking for you to share your life in 17 syllables, but, Id like to read what your 5-7-5's are. If you have more than 1 to share... by all means do
The essence of haiku is often represented by the writing of two images/subjects or ideas and a "cutting word" between them, a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colors the manner in which the written elements are related.
It can be funny, serious, nonsubjective, descriptive, or any form of writing you feel you want to share...(it's been known, that a persons being can be seen through the words he/she shares)
English guidelines of 'modern' Haiku:
1- 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the 2nd, and 5 on the last.
2- try to have your wording, make sense.
3- be original!
... that's it!
Here is 'my' 5-7-5 example(s):
Pavement made blackened,
high pitched markers, draw curved lines.
The race has begun.
Half-bred by mistake,
night before leaving Japan.
Oops I think it broke.

... it's amazing how much can be told in 17 syllables if worded/punctuated properly.
