3 haiku

forgive everyone

the greatest teachers often

inflict the most pain

 

small cricket

sings in clothes dryer

laundry can wait

 

four leaf clover

pressed in dictionary

dried up good luck

Notes

let me just say that slavish devotion to traditional 5-7-5 form is not a golden rule. my teacher's opinion was these attempts (in english) are often awkward, reaching for spare syllables that take away from the beauty of the poem.

i believe the purity of the image transcends the number of syllables.
