    Haiku form is seventeen syllables arraigned in three lines, unfortunately when translated from Japanese the rhythm is usually lost.

    a a a a a

    a a a a a a a

    a a a a a

    Usually about nature (include a word about the season)
    Two different subjects brought together in a surprising way.

    My humble example:

    Stillness​
    ​
    When ink is drip ping​
    As au tumn leaves fall no more​
    ​
    From a dead man's pen​

    It's less hot today
    Could autumn be on its way?
    Just wishful thinking

    How did I get here
    Wonder how long have I got
    Where does my life go

    January​
    ​
    Winter winds have come,​
    Bitter coffee in my cup,​
    ​
    Sugar white as snow.​

    Cultivating love,
    It sprouts through the frozen earth,
    A verdant spring flower.

    Eyes wet, salted tears
    Drawing paths down blotched cheeks
    Carving through our hearts

    Deafening silence
    Stuffs your ears like cotton balls
    Weighty nothingness

    My quirk just before leaving the house is always speaking to myself.

    *Pete in quiet voice says* "Keys,,,,,,,wallet,,,,,,,phone,,,,"



    In that same order.
    I don't know why everytime
    It just feels so right.

    So funny. To make sure I have everything for work...before I leave i always say "keys, wallet, food, music" been doing it for 16 years now. However music has turned into my phone but I do still have music on it. I still say music even though I mean phone.
