Haiku is an ancient form of Japanese poetry often containing (in English) a total of 17 syllables shared between three lines that are arranged in a pattern of 5-7-5. The fist line consists of 5 syllables, the second line 7, and the last line contains another 5 syllables.
An example I wrote -
sharing thoughts brings us
insight into what may be
also what is not
What can you say in three lines, using just 17 syllables? If you want to be sure of the syllable count, this website, will count the syllables for you. It's fun and I'm sure that many of you can do better than my example. Show us what you've got and post your best haiku!
