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.

Here are a couple of examples using 3 of the above color sample names:
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
With a small LIGHT TOUCH FLAME rises up my two feet Your BLUE eyes meet me
Hush and Lullaby First Light is bright for Santa Red socks wait for toys
First Light shows the way My Flame is ablaze again My purpose, my Wish
The Wallflowers Wish Hopeful; pondering First Light Light Touch Hushes Flame
I made a small wish When I sang my lullaby before the first light
The red funky fruit A sweet tasty lullaby That's what I'm craving
Be a WALLFLOWER Quiet like a LULLABY CHEERFUL and silent
I wish for a hush Voices blowing with the wind Don't envy the flame
Light touch to the flame Stop and ponder nacho cheese Creamy lullaby
CHEERFUL holiday I WISH the FLAME would warm me I PONDER summer
