Gosh, I remember writing Haiku years ago, and then when I taught school, I always enjoyed reading my students' Haiku. I still remember how frustrated some of them would become because writing in a measured, spare style isn't always easy. Thanks for the memories!
Juhli, you did very well! I especially liked the line that said "Words piling up in my head." Your haiku conjured up a visual picture and relayed information about you.
I always struggled when my English teachers would suggest that we write a haiku. My syllables never came out right!! But the modern version seems a bit more flexible. Both of your poems are fun. I could envision the clothes - soft, white towels - tumbling in the dryer. Did laundry today!!
I've never understood the rules for writing Haiku, but they sure do seem to be a popular writing exercise.
ReplyDeleteThe modern ones aren’t as restrictive so it was more fun.

DeleteThank you! It was fun.
DeleteI didn't know that there was a modern version of writing Haiku. That was one form of poetry I could never get into. I do like your modern form though.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thanks. I didn’t know either until I researched how to write it.
