Joyful Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 My mother was great at Haiku, so here is one she wrote. Smog Over the hill Lies smogville Smoggy Sun Smoggy moon. Useless waste of fresh air. An all going nowhere. the more I read it the more it seems like a poem LOL. May this one? Trouble Smile at troubles There only bubbles sailing on in space. If you frown You bring them down around you everyplace. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Nice poems Joyful, thanks for posting them. The haiku form is quite closely tied to Japanese, so it is hard to draw a clear line in western works, but I would not consider either of those to be haiku. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
