Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry. Haiku poems consist of 3 lines. The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables. The lines rarely rhyme.
Sample:
I am first with five
Then seven in the middle
Five again to end.

What ENVY I have
While I watch you use CHOPSTICKS
I PONDER, “Can I?”
And
Stand at the fountain
Take PENNY from your pocket
STOP, toss, make a WISH
pond full of FIRST LIGHT fish drift among the clouds PONDERing their fate
o too HOPEFUL fly, think mere buzz can sate? STOP! FIRST LIGHT! then gorge on cake.
To paint BLUE ENVY is to PONDER love's FIRST LIGHT; Every brush stroke counts
Oh, BLUE SANGRIA, How you confuse me–and yet I WISH I had more…
Hush, a lullaby Hopeful I can sleep again Dark cradles me now
Ever hopeful, the Wallflower wishes for the Dance invitation
Before the FIRST LIGHT- Groggy, warm up chai LATTE, SADDLE UP the dawn.
with HOPEFUL CHOPSTICKS i approach ma po tofu pinching with LIGHT TOUCH
Wish upon a time We humans Salute Nature I remain Hopeful
Gaurd green garden green red blue gleams purple sky dreams light touch, first light beams
