Haiku Haiku

only three lines long
five, seven, five syllables
join disconnected thoughts

About this poem:
I rather like Haiku, actually!

I believe the 'modern' traditional format is three lines, with five, seven, and five syllables per line (though a five line stanza with 5,7,5 followed by 7, 7 is common too?).

What I really like in haiku, that I fail to express in mine, is to see independant thoughts that combine to form an image. That is to say, three things which aren't related through transtions, and accessories like 'and', 'with', or possessives. Blah blah blah, right? lol

Maybe I'll slip by later and try my hand at a more thoughtful haiku. :)

Although I can see the merit in them and even tried just one...I just personally have a hard time with them...although I look forward to seeing what you and the others in the Poets Corner come up with....handshake
