Haiku – 5-7-5 Haiku Journal

Pizza time

flood reached the tenth floor
even the rats left New York
I deliver food

Purple flowered trees line street
Pollen everywhere
Allergy season – ACHOO

By K. A. Williams

This is an example of the inverted 7-5-7 haiku form.

Sunshine glows yellow:
frost quickens daffodil – fall
as thriving grass drips.

Winter lingers on
Snow falls on another day
Waiting for the spring

Harbingers of spring
New transitions held at bay
Rain and snow today

Snowy day today
Winter will not go away
When will spring begin

sleet falls on spring day
uncertainty of season
decide to stay home

Open field. Dead tree,
abrasive to no-one’s eye…
cut down, dismembered.

By David Edwards

Stream of consciousness
Flighty as a butterfly
Floating in the wind

A rough-tough creampuff
Proud to be a Gemini
Basking in the light

Still walked like a duck
Grounded by her memories
Of dancing en l’air

By Bruce Levine

vampires bite – beware
blood doeth be sucked – fearing
hence the neck be thrived.…

By Stacey Law

move into new home
hidden tunnel in cellar
cause evil to wake

By DJ Tyrer

waiting for the dawn
nightmares escape from my dreams
torment me awake

By Aeronwy Dafies

Apple trees and pears
blossom future hope; one small
bloom ‘forget-me-not’

May prunus always
fall, a girlie pink brash dress;
red tulips her shoes

unbearable heat
solar panels drive coolers
our food grows below

By Ruben Horn
