Well today I am trying something new. It's a new form of poetry for me and I pass it along to you. In the event you have no idea, here's everything you need to know about the poetic form:
and now the poem...Haiku (HI-coo)
Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry!
My Fall Down
I sped down the hill
I fell tactlessly down hard
Sprawled out in pain.
Like Haikus....here's much more!

Your Fall Down
The landing was soft
The onlooker was concerned
There was not much blood.
