Let's Start Looking At Haiku ...

Let us start looking at Haiku.  That small but philosophical piece of poetry in the 5-7-5 syllable count which gives a snapshot of a moment in time. Here are some I did earlier (as they say) ...

Summer morning dawns
as gulls sweep glittering seas
Plymouth awakens

Vast skies unfold blue
above a river's strong flow
which stills each poet

Each snowdrop wavers
in woodland green glades of dew
February gems

A silent world waits
over a golden seabed
yet above there's storms

Look forward to meeting the fellow creative writers at Whitleigh very soon.
