Haiku’s on a dreary day.
I’ve recently developed a love for haiku’s. They’re probably the shortest form of literary art, and they can easily be made beautiful, mysterious, or however you like. A haiku is a poem consisting of three lines. The first line must be five syllables, the second must be seven, and third must be five again.
I’m an amateur at this and these are the first haiku’s I have ever written, and they’re not that great, but I still love writing them and I hope to get better. No criticism please. Here they are. =)
Dew drops dance on leaves,
Like icicles they shine.
Bittersweet beauty.
Like icicles they shine.
Bittersweet beauty.
Blooms the gorgeous rose.
Not seeing thorns underneath,
I reach out and touch.
Dance, sing, just pretend,
Wish away all ugly thoughts.
Solitude, whispers.
Preserve memories,
For the world’s future children.
Young minds live on dreams.
I’m not even sure what they mean or where I get the ideas, I just write the first thing that comes to mind and what sounds good to me. They’re not that bad, right? And they’re very soothing and they make me feel happy to write them down in my binder. I’ll share more of my haikus later, and maybe you should try writing some too, and share them in the comments. =)
