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.

• 日本绯句，在中国有汉绯，英文原来也有演变体呀。汉绯要押韵，能读出诗的感觉。这英文版的，和把一句话分成三段排列有什么区别吗 -盈盈一笑间- ♀ (167 bytes) () 02/27/2024 postreply 17:39:10

• 我也不太了解，只是现学现卖，跟着几个小西链接里的例子学的，有些就是一句话分行 -godog- ♂ (0 bytes) () 02/27/2024 postreply 19:34:23
