Haiku is a beautiful form of Japanese poetry, where the feelings evoked by the words are the most important thing.

Showcase your creative side, let out the poet within, and Impress us all with your writing skills! To start you off, here's my favourite modern haiku :

Took a walk today Cherry blossoms all around Lovely as they are An ode to beauty Of national importance Symbol of Japan Peace is what thrives In spite of a warring past Legends only fade Here and now we look To see a path we need take Symbiosity The living things here Only what is perceived Grow but not by sword Reply #105.
