Ok, so here is the deal. I will let this run over the weekend and give a best response for my favorite haiku. That's not necessarily the best one, because I don't consider myself a haiku or poetry expert/critic...merely the one I like the best. It can be the most creative, funniest, the one with the prettiest imagery...whatever. For those of you who don't know what a haiku is, it is a 3 line poem. The first line has 5 syllables, the 2nd line has 7, and the 3rd line again has 5. Short, sweet and to the point. And they don't have to rhyme. Here is my example: The Rumpelstilskin In all of us will emerge... Angry, petty dwarves. Have fun!

I like to write poetry but had not tried Haiku before. You gave excellent instructions on how to do it. I know there are poets on here and I hope they answer so I can read how they do it. Thanks for this discussion.

Ooh, I love writing haiku. It so short, and fairly simple. At least, it seems so to me. But yet, there is such a beautiful structure to it.
