| My camera battery died, my mistake. Lacking photos to show, I wrote verse instead. |
In a nice lounge chair
I watch the waves washing in.
Never, ever done.
The sky once clear blue
Hides behind puffy white clouds
Yet peeks out, see it?
A swim early morn,
Then breakfast and a long stroll
Earn me some down time.
I came upon friends
On the beach from times gone by.
We stopped to catch up.
In my chair I read
And work on crossword puzzles,
Finally, I write.
,
I write some"haiku."
First and third lines each contain
Just five syllables.
The second line must hold
Seven syllables, it's true.
That's the rule, you see?
I think of something
And gather the words I need
To express myself.
It's easy to do.
Just remember to count them.
Syllables matter.
To master "haiku"
Grand eloquence just won't do.
Choose words carefully.
Haiku is a type of verse that consists of three lines as described above. It's actually not all that easy although practicing helps. After getting the rhythm, it moves right along. (I bet I looked funny, counting on my fingers this afternoon on the beach as I wrote!)
