Haiku Writting...Will You Write One, Too?

I just wrote this poem after editing my last post.  It is inspired by this picture:

 

Woman on the Moscow Metro by Alice Ficklin

Your small stoic face

Stares at me in the metro

Criss-cross of cultures.

Here is a classic poem also written by me, Alice Ficklin

Haiku Poet

Counting syllables

Real poems just less commitment 

The haiku poet.

I love that I can sit down for five minutes and have one or more haikus written. Haiku is perfect for the very busy poet.

You should write one and share it in the comments, either here or on social media. I want to hear your voice. Remember a haiku is a short three-lined poem. Historically, it was a nature poem, but I take the liberty to write haiku about anything I wish. In haiku: The first line has five syllables, the second seven and then the final and third line again has five syllables. Happy writing.
