Haiku

by Maki-Chan

Published December 1, 2007

1.
Canvas of colors,
splashed across an ocean,
sunlight becomes black.
2.
Enormas titans,
carring the sky above,
watching those below.
3.
Pillows of white,
fluffy castles above us,
floating in the wind.
4.
A silver platter
glowing in the darkened sky,
night light of the earth.
5.
mirror of clear blue,
reflecting sunlight to all,
giving life to man.

Remember, a haiku doesn't HAVE to be 5-7-5. You can play with the syllable count and line breaks if you want to; you'll find a lot more freedom in that.

Each haiku you have here is about a specific thing. I think that's perfectly find, and a good exercise in concise, original description. The problem is that they're all sentence fragments or loosely connected phrases. Work on writing in complete sentences (not a requirement, but a good idea).

You write poetry too? I'm so jealous! :D
Anyways, sorry for being so harsh in my latest reviews of your work. :( I meant well.

That one is by far my favourite! It's awesome! There's just something about it!

Hmm...not sure how I feel about this one. It has no meaning. :?

Hhhmm...kind of random, but I still like it. :)

Well, these were quite good. I really liked them. :)
Keep writing,
