Impartial
droplets leave their heavenly abode--
blessing all.

    Love the imagery your words leave in ones mind, and in such short verses as well.
    Good work!

    No problem Jay - love the new edit. As Ingrid alluded to, and a wonderful writer called Mr Darcy (Michael) advised me - you can use the title as a sneaky fourth line, so make it different from the rest of the poem - don't give too much away too soon.

    All the very best,
    Ben

    Jay - I have just read Ingrid's comment - listen to her; she has far greater knowledge of this form (and every other form ) than I do!

    No problem , Jay - it took me a while. They are similar to senryu (5,7,5) syllable count but haiku tend to deal with nature. What about this:

    Impartial droplets
    Leave their heavenly abode
    Blessing all around.

    (5,7,5 so 17 in all)

      Thank you Ben, In fact after you explained i too tried it this way,
      Impartial droplets
      Leaving their heavenly abode
      Blessing one and all.
      Jay.
