Haiku is an ancient Japanese form of poetry traditionally written about nature. Each Haiku has three lines: the first line has 5 beats, or syllables, the second line has 7 beats, and the third line has 5 beats. I tried my hand at it, and found it to be both fun and easy.

wind blowing softly

tree branches swaying in wind

leaves begin to drift

towering up above

pine trees standing solemnly

in big, silent woods

brown grasshopper leaps

lizard flees to shelter green

yellow moth flitters

dew on gleaming leaves

drops fall in sparkling water

little ripples form

howling mournfully

wind whistling and whirling by

monsoon is coming

berries juicy ripe

butterfly's erratic flight

stink bug scitters past

sun shows behind clouds

shimmering rainbow appears

river sweeps image away

peacefully swaying

golden grass with wisps of green

calmness in meadow

little boy running

joyously exuberant

follows his heart-trail

shining stars in sky

moon rising bringing grave quiet

waves still crash on shore

eagle in the sky

elegance flying up high

graceful, fierce, peaceful

duck squats patiently

heron stands on one leg, tall

lazy turtles float

spider spinning slowly

birds blissfully chirping softly

deer cuddled with fawn

stars twinkling at night

pinpricks of light in dark sky

silent, heavenly

brilliantly orange

hummingbird greedily sips

Bird-of-Paradise
