Haiku Exercises

The following are three haiku exercises after reading the haiku in today's Poem Reading Tuesday post. I have never written one before, so this was a first try. I didn't try to follow the 5-7-5 rule which is not that easy in English.

Desert

A world of sand,

and within every grain,

a world so grand.

Wild Flower

A world of wild flower,

and within every petal,

a world of singular beauty.

Snowflake

Your are so otherworldly.

With a speck of dust in your heart,

you're also very down to earth.
