Haiku is a Japanese language
style of poetry that has
three lines made up of
5 syllables in the 1st line,
7 syllables in the 2nd line
and 5 for the 3rd line.
5 - 7 - 5

The seed of sunshine
breaks thru the soft and warm soil

The plant high and straight

The fall wind will blow
bending the old aging plant
spreading all the seeds

I experimented with
this Haiku style by
combining 3 single
Haiku stanzas into
a single poem with
a beginning,
middle and end.

Writer's Poem

Tornadoes, jumping up and down.
Earthquakes, waiting to shake.
Giant fires, burning all around.
Which tiny poem shall I make?

Walnut Shell
23 second read
I wanted to make
a little boat where
I could sit and float.
I carefully opened a
big walnut shell, it
sure looked swell.
I shrunk in size to
fit in my big ride.
Floating on the water
the sun got hotter.
I stopped my little ride
returning to normal size.

I wonder, I wonder
what makes thunder?
I wonder, I wonder
what's down under?
I wonder, I wonder
why I always wonder?
