Within the Bowl
Serene just like spring
Unbelievably quiet
A fish swims all day
White Pines
The pine trees are white
Snow lies upon their branches
It is winter now
Creating a haiku is fairly easy. Follow these three rules:
- A haiku must have three lines, and only three lines.
- The first line consists of five syllables, the second is seven syllables and the last line has five syllables. You can think of it as a syllable sandwich.
- A haiku should contain a reference to nature. It is supposed to be simple and clear. However, all good poems have deeper meanings, too.
