Post it in this thread. The haiku with the most likes wins (in the event of a draw, I will cast the deciding 'like'). The winner will be announced at the start of winter (1 June). No plagiarism. Haiku in English A haiku in English is a very short poem in the English language, following to a greater or lesser extent the form and style of the Japan haiku. A typical haiku is a three-line observation about a fleeting moment involving nature. The traditional pattern in English is to write the first and last lines with five syllables each, and the middle line with seven syllables. For example: From the ground I creep (5 syllables) Morning dew is new to me (7 syllables) Can't wait for the night (5 syllables) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
