I have always loved Haikus. They are so simple and yet so complex. I have decided that I am going to try to write one Haiku a day, about anything. In case you don't know the rules of a Haiku, I'll explain:
-The first line is 5 syllables
-The second line is 7 syllables
-The third line is 5 syllables
-The second line is 7 syllables
-The third line is 5 syllables
It can be about any subject and the great thing is they don't have to rhyme [although they can]. They typically paint a simple picture, although sometimes limiting your words to 17 syllables total can be hard. Try it out, though. I think that they are fun to write! Leave your haikus in my comments, if you want.
Here is mine for today, although it was actually written yesterday:
The sky opened wide
And poured out its soul on us
We were again clean.
And poured out its soul on us
We were again clean.
