This is a place for posting haiku.
A haiku is a 17 syllable poem, generally consisting of three lines with 5-7-5 syllables respectively. Normally the final line gives a twist or "turn" to the meaning or makes a reference to the season of the year. Traditionally, in Japan, haiku were often about the moon, clouds, cherry blossom, the wonders of nature, especially anything beautiful yet transient, which could also be symbolic reference to some spiritual experience. Modern haiku can be about almost anything, but the brief, succinct form does work better for some things than others and the "turn" can be the all important element.

A friend told me that I did not do this right . . . is there something that I missed in my responses? Am I suppose to pick up the last line and move forward from there??
Opera language?
Twirling dancers always spin,
so thinking falls down
Once down, traces leave
an eons old mind tossing out
Unnecessary stuff
Creating open space
Boundaries dissolve
Revealing, empty.
Opera nature -
Has the dog got it, by chance?
- just an old mu joke.
If there's space for me
under the wings of the dog
I'll eat my old hat.
This world embraces
the singer who is flying
free from her traces.
some days it seems dogs have wings
even in this world
Even in this world
dogs fly by wearning hats and
singing opera
Writer writing words
flowing them fast, furious
painting empty space.
This world, other worlds -
your prayers are embracing me
keeping me flying.
Flying South
Time flying by me
thoughts nosily flocking south
headed to new worlds.
Golden sun shining, cold crisp
Warm kitchen, sweet crust
When will winter come -
butterflies in November!
Takers for croquet?
