Haiku for me, Haiku for you
Haiku definition I happened upon:
Haiku is small poetry with oriental metric that appeared in the XVI century and has been very popular mainly in Japan. It is thoughtful poetry that valorizes nature, color, season, contrasts and surprises. Usually it has 3 lines and 17 syllabes distributed in 5, 7 and 5. It must register or indicate a moment, sensation, impression or drama of a specific fact of nature. It's almost like a photo of some specific moment of nature. More than inspiration, it's needs meditation, effort and perception to compose a real haiku poem.

Does your poem represent... snow melting from the mountains?

I am actually not depressed... it's just the weather I returned to that is hitting me in the face. I'm actually in a really good mood.
flowers embrace and
engulf the dew and her love

I am not experienceing WAMS, I tell ya. And I don't think I'm hormonal.... yes I am... no I'm not.
Actually, Hiss... I have just been in a rather poetry mood (which is not the norm for me) and just came up with the poems as I post them. I'm not sure if that's good or not because they are off the cuff a bit.
Woman... you need to stop talking about coffee in every forum I visit.
