Haiku is a Japanese form of poetry.
The poems are limited to 3 lines and 17 syllables.

5 on the first line,
7 on the second line,
and 5 on the third.


I try to write one Haiku everyday.
Most days I fail, but some days inspiration strikes.
Sometimes it gushes for days at a time.
You can never tell when something will touch your heart.

Thanks for spending a moment reading
Haiku from the Heart.

I hope you'll be back to read my words.

Daddy, how does Dragon taste?

Last night in her dream,
she cooked and ate a Dragon.
Tasted like chicken!

Water = Life

Summer evening.
Stifling heat slows everything.
Sprinklers make kids run.

Perseverance

Icicles reach down
Using snow banks and noon's heat.
At night they pause, rest.

Growing Up

Ageing leaves hold tight.
Separation anxiety.
But soon they will leave.

Look Out Above! (3)

When trees are laden
with unpicked, rotting old fruit,
don't stand under them!
