    leaves twist and depart
    catch and fly upon the breeze
    loft is everything

    pretty orange leaf
    rides on the breeze
    autumn's butterflies
    Forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

    This is very nice, again!

    orange sunset
    vanishing behind the trees
    river flows


    I wish we could put the haiku on this thread and make a physical book. Some of the visual artists on this board could add their work. I guess, however, that this thread is the book. There are so many beautiful haiku on here! :)

    :D I SO wanted to get to winter!

    children's laughter
    warms the hearts
    of snow angels



    frozen lake
    mirror image
    of the sky



    deserted walkway
    only me
    winter's walk

    :)

    opens up to fire
    flames encompess memory
    waiting on rain
    providing angels
    saved again everyone

    walking the beagle
    fall's heir to summer breezes
    leaves splash bright colors
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    new moon's wind
    lifting leaves
    shuddering

    Are you asking about haiku? If you are asking for assistance on haiku there are many excellent haiku on this board. If you read a poem and you feel "AHA!" when you read it, like the world makes sense, then it's hit the mark as to the intent of haiku. Haiku are short poems 1,2 or 3 lines, usually between 12-17 syllables. Usually there is a seasonal reference. How I see it is a moment that is unique as part of an ongoing time, i.e., season, that anyone can recognize. Is that what you wanted to know? Haiku are my favorite type of poetry, they are truly spiritual to me because by reading them we can only be in the present. They do not focus on the past or the future, just the moment of now. :)
