Haiku

Haiku is a Japanese poetic form consisting of three lines in a pattern of five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables.  Haiku can be titled or untitled – I’ve done both here.  Each post below contains 3-5 haiku.  [Note that I use ‘haiku‘ in the plural form as well as the singular.]  Unrelated sets of haiku are numbered; themed sets are named.  I am prone to writing free verse, but I do like the discipline of the haiku. I hope you enjoy them, and please feel free to add your own in the comments section of the posts.
