Haiku 1 (diamonds in the snow---)
For those who may not know, Haiku is a form of Japanese poetry. The standard structure consists of three lines in which the first line consists of five syllables, the second has seven syllables and the third has five syllables. "Haiku is a finger pointing at the moon. If the hand is bejewelled, we no longer see that to which it points." The idea is to draw attention to what is being said and not to the words used to say it.

Muir Woods
A Haiku poem: A Japanese lyric verse form having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons. In nature there is no good or evil. It's non dualistic. Inspired by Joseph Campbell.
Clouds (A Tanka)
When selecting a poetry style, some of you may have noticed "Tanka" listed alongside "Haiku/Senryu/". A Tanka is another short form of Japanese poem, consisting of five lines. The first and the third lines contain 5 syllables, and the others, 7 syllables. The full layout is: Line one(1) - 5 syllables Line two(2) - 7 syllables Line three(3) - 5 syllables Line four(4) - 7 syllables Line five(5) - 7 syllables It allows you more words than the traditional haiku in which to express your poem. Some of you may want to try it.
The Sound Of Silence
Simon and Garfunkel's "The Sounds of Silence" was, and remains, my favourite song of all time. I spent many hours listening to it. Silence is the canvas on which all sounds are painted. I have tried to capture its essence with this haiku. I am not sure how others will respond to it but it is deeply personal to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jqn9SKYAgY Some of their other great hits are shown on the same youtube page.
A rowdy ride
Happy New Year to the poetry page folk!
AHA! (5-7-5)
Senryu (A short Japanese style poem, similar to haiku in structure, however, senryu tend to be about human foibles while haiku tend to be about nature, and senryu are often cynical or darkly humorous and satiric while haiku are serious)

Pear Tree Haiku for fjames Picture Uploaded
IF YOU GO AND CLICK ON POST A COMMENT the whole tree shows up its awesome.. My little pear tree.. I was just mowing my grass.( 3 acres) I notices my little pear tree. its only 4 feet tall 4 inches at the base 2 lonely branches coming off the base and little twigs coming off that the the branches are like 2 inches around at the most.. I almost cut it down a few years back because i was sure it was dead.. I just didn't have the heart.. It is so loaded with pears at least 50 that is bent completely over touching the ground.. I have been so overwhelmed with my own grief and locked inside my depression I never noticed or I would have found a wedge for the 2 lonely branches.. Nature never ceases to amaze me.
