"The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind."


I am too shy  of a poet to go first...

Cascade the water,


Enveloped in flames:


A forest no.



That was suppose to be postive, but it sounds so dark. Nice thread. Let's add more.

Bird calls, wind in leaves


Quiet, Dear Heart, hear all now

Arrow a heart;


One angels kiss.


Broken in two.

He wears nought but gown


Open in the back.  He sleeps.


We weep on inside.

Sit by a fountain


And quietly sense feelings -


Turns my world around.

Be who you were meant to be-


careful to protect


your originality.

The silent heart calls


Tears of a cold winter


Dreams renew, life begins





This sort of just popped into my head.  I'm not sure about its flow, but I like it.

Christmas without you


Empty chair at the table


Empty place in heart

Ruby velvet mist


pierced with spikes of bronze and gold


Sunrise through the rain.
