Imagination,
versatile thinking
makes a good Haiku

Five syllables (short)
Seven syllables (longer)
and five more to end

The poetry group
teaches us many new things
including Haiku

"The length of a lyric"
the writer explained
over a cup
of what looked like tea
"depends on eroding
a concept held dearly
down to its heartwood
to let it sing free"

I'm wending my way
to the poetry group
trying to frame
from alphabet soup
some rhythmic offering
by way of a change
from shame-faced admittance
"I've nothing"- how strange!
But just as I join them
with something to say

They're doing Haiku

Heavy rain
lets you know
which of your shoes
leak

An observed word
infrequently heard
can isolate
or implicate
the visionary
thin with worry
in a dastardly plot
which will get him shot
