Three Haikus
By Toad
04 January 2007
Hooray for Haikus!


Highway Haiku   

I love to stop the
flow of traffic, watch drivers
watch me move the turtle.

Meditation Haiku

Monkey brain slows down,
I breathe softly in the eye
of the hurricane.

Night Sky Haiku

I blow my smoke at
the milky way as I wait
for a shooting star.

Very nice these. I have never tried to write a Haiku - but you make is seem so effortless. It's amazing how much meaning can come across in so few words.

Particularly liked the third of these. As Jean says, you seem to find these effortless. Another addict?

The first of these was, I think , my favourite of the bunch - funnily enough the third was the one I liked least. Enjoyed them

No, not an addict at all...but what I like about them is you can write them anytime, whereas with other forms I have trouble writing without an inspired, well thought out idea. Glad you enjoyed.

Liked these lots. Thought the last was the most effective, but the first one made me smile.

One & three for me - not too sure about the monkey brain. 
 
Nice form, nicely done.  
 
Look forward to more.
