Five For Fall - haiku
Coffee and muffin
spiced with pumpkin. Off to Work!
Stuck behind school bus.
Reds, yellows, and browns.
Mounds so high they touch the sky.
Whoosh! Jumping in leaves!
Crisp Fresh. Donuts. Pies!
An apple treat a day keeps
Winter blues at bay.

A set of Haikus inspired by the season of summer. - Summer Daybreak - Haiku in Traditional Style
While modern Haiku poetry focuses mainly on the 5-7-5 structure of the poem, there are other rules that apply when writing a traditional Haiku. I find writing a modern Haiku tons of fun. Everyone should try it. However, there is something strikingly.
Autumn trees ablaze.
Pale in comparison to
fire in her eyes
Green. Yellow. Orange.
Twisted gnarly pile of warts.
Oh my, what a gourd!
Comments
beautiful imagination of colors and nature, voted beautiful.
Loved these, Dana! Great job!
Woot for Fall. Awesome haikus!!!
Dana a lot of thought went into this fall haiku. I especially loved the last line having warts. How something with warts becomes beautiful only happens in nature. Well done and perfect Haiku form.
