With my fingertips
when your arms wrap around me
I'll draw you a heart.

The pieces you lack
are waiting inside of me
to find you again.

When Ruby is stuck in the mucks
she should go and help feed a duck
childhood innocence
found in an instance
helps her heart and her brain get unstuck.

Limmericks are much more fun than haiku. :P

Snow melts, heart stays froze,

Birds call, but no heart's response

Winter of the heart

Yooper,

   It's something that folk here on GP got me started doing a few years ago.

   The form most of us practice is done in three lines--the first and the third have words that total five syllables, while the middle line totals seven.

   Practice enough, and you can almost do haiku on demand.
---------------------
It's five syllables

Followed with seven in words

That end with five more
--------------------
The Hailku haiku! :)

That sure makes a lot more sense than all the stuff I got on it from Wiki... love Wiki, but talk about information overload...

ja, I tried searching stuff when i started writing haiku.

Some point to haiku focusing on aspects of nature-such as the cherry blossom.

Some purists/snobs may quibble over the vowel length in English (longer) as opposed to that found in Japanese. I'm not sure if that's where/why some mention has been made of 3-5-3 syllable structure, rather than 5-7-5.

Anyway, enjoy!

"The Siren"

her beauty unmatched
her song soaring high and far
thank God for earplugs!
Only through faith in the Grace of God through Jesus Christ am I saved. No other means and no other actions changes the predestination of my soul.

So, did she dump you?

She's just not that into you

So get over it!
