Haikus

Haikus are simple, Japanese poems. They have 3 lines, with 5 syllables in the 1st and 3rd lines, and 7 in the middle line. Usually they are about nature, but can be about other things. I will add more every so often. Here are some.

Theodore, my hamster

 Soft thistledown fur

Nibble, squeak, licks my fingers

Albino treasure 

Theodore

Duck

Waddling feathers 

Slides into murky water

Quacking joyfully

Frog 

Gelatinous eyes

Lands squelchily on a leaf

Throbbing cry echos

Coconut

Bristling armour

But reveals creamy flesh

And sweet, snowy milk  

Coral
Pale pink fingers wave
In the utterly still sea
Delicate beauty 

Poems
Careful clever rhymes
Balanced poetically well 
For perfect effect
