Apple Blossoms (Tripplet Haiku)

by Brigitte   May 19, 2006


Crisp Apple Blossoms
Shower down upon the grass
'Tis the rain of May

Thick-set blackened bark
In which lover's names engraved
Surrounds pale green wood

Teal leaves grasp sunlight
Reaching for the clear blue sky
A tree standing proud

This is the fist Haiku that I ever wrote. A Haiku used to be used in the japanese literature and consists of a count of syllables going like this

Line one-5
Line two-7
Line three- 5

Haiku's are usually about nature.

    You did a great job on this Haiku. All syllables were accounted for. Very calm and relaxing scenary you created. ( except the rain! I want sun!!! lol )

    For your first haiku it was beautiful and much better than what I could have done. YOu can get a good feel of nature in it's beauty, something we often overlook, and it appeals to the senses as though seeing a painting. You use words that people don't often use to bring your words color and life.
