Give us your Haiku
I was reading some Haiku earlier, and it stirred my creative juices... So I thought I would start a thread for anyone to post their efforts...
In case you didn't know, Haiku is Japanese poetry that ought to be 5-7-5 syllables - (I say ought as I have found much that does not follow this) Here's my first effort... Look into the stars The root of our existance We try to find truth

Here is one I cowrote with a reader from Cambridge University and was published in a poetry magazine.
The Shadow is a kite, The wind... ...cannot lift it.

Now, this is going to be the best freakin' haiku you've all ever read:
Haircuts are so bad Scissors are very scary Where did my ear go?

Traditionally, haiku should also include elements of nature that provoke an emotional response. I have a group of 5 haiku I've written and have submitted to a publisher. There are written in both Japanese and English. I should hear back any time. Wish me luck!

here goes:
Tooki kuni Hisame furiyuku-- Madobe no ko In a country far away A small girl by the window Winter rain is showering. I had help from a japanese friend with the japanese version, i can't say the english version follows the syllable rule much. Here, the season word is "hisame" (chilly rain).
