Haiku

by Amice

Published December 15, 2005

Soft and gentle snow
And bitterly gelid ice-
Winter's sensations.

Haiku : three unrhymed lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables, respectively.


Haiku posted previously (by myself) in this forum:

How the setting sun
Quietly delights my mind-
Secret of summer.

Ooo, these remind me of the examples they use to show how "meaningful" a haiku can be. I especially like the second one, mostly because it has to do with summer and it's so quiet and gentle. :)

The word Gelid really puts an image. I like how you've made them sound so natural- not forced at all.

Being in Alaska, the first one is automaticly my favorite. ;)

That is quite good. Good meaning to them.

you spelled young like tongue just with a "y" instead of a "T" and other stuff, this is good i like the similarity of the two haiku's, you could do many more, i would like to read more if you have any, and if you didn't try to make some more, the only spelling mistake i found was gelid or is that a word, and if it is what does it mean?

Nice, but there shuold be no capitals. I read that hiakus were supposed to have none. Other wise good younge grasshopper. :wink:



The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
