Haiku!

What is a haiku?
Well, a haiku is a form of Japanese poetry, consisting of 17 Japanese word, in 3 metrical phrases with the number of 5 syllables for the first line, 7 syllables for the second line and 5 syllables for the third line!It does not have to rhyme, as long as you follow the fact that there's limited syllables for each lines.

Samples of Haikus!

There but never seen
Wind... you're whistling and howling
Who are you calling?

City streets shining
Greenery glistening in
The clean city park...

The horses run freely
No harness.. No reins.. Away
Can i join the fun?

My lizard's flicking
Tongue is liking across
the stormy sky

Jewel lying in the stones
Sits under the rushing the stream
waits to be discovered

Someone is laughing
Everyone still crying
Shut off the racket!

Swimming in the sea
floating amongst the white clouds
the ship sails off

The stars dance above
In the night air, the heavens
Yet unmapped by man...

Fiery red, suns fall
The day is slipping away
The death of the light..

My own Haiku!

You've been with me long
Without a friend, I am NOTHING
