I enjoy the challenge of writing haiku. It's not an overly taxing exercise for me, just challenging enough. Haiku is an unrhymed poem of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively. The haiku first emerged in Japanese literature during the 17th century. Traditionally, the subject had to be the seasons, time of day, the dominant features of landscapes, nature, etc.
Today the term haiku is used to describe all poems that use the three-line 17-syllable structure. Haiku is still an art of expressing much and suggesting more in the fewest possible words. They generally do not have titles but some of mine do. I really feel that titles disturb their simplicity so I try not to add them.
Please share your HAIKU. Only 5-7-5 is welcome here. Thank you.
