Haiku Poems

Greetings everyone, it is my first time posting on #hiveblog and I want to start with sharing five Haiku poems that I made. But before I do, let me explain what it is. *In my own words,

A Haiku is a Japanese poem structure. It has three lines. The syllables of each line or mora is 5 - 7 - 5*

If you want to know more

Features of Haiku It contains three lines. It has five moras (syllables) in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the last line. It contains 17 syllables in total. A Haiku poem does not rhyme. Haiku poems frequently have a kigo, or seasonal reference. Haiku poems are usually about nature or natural phenomena. The poem has two juxtaposed subjects that are divided into two contrasting parts. In English, this division between two parts can be shown by a colon or a dash.

My poems

Tea

Do enjoy a cup when tea brings you peace and calm you can't do with one.

Rose

>Your roses left dead the petals blown by the wind, feelings yet alive.

Cacti

>Cute things but take care your soft gentle finger could bleed Oh lovely cactus!

Leaves

>Leaves grow then they fall, Lovers go like the storm do yet the strong ones remain.

Candle

> Candle light flickers, some claims to see the future will the light betray?

I never thought that writing Haiku is fun. words don't need to rhyme but they make sense for me. This is short yet brings solid message. My friend @jacinta.sevilla suggested this to me and I decided to try it. Thank you for also suggesting good photos to use! I really love reading books and writing, now that things are stressful, this brings us a good way to express creativity and try many new ways to do things. Stay strong in these hard times and keep working hard.

Small reintroduction

For those of you who have not met me here, even if I am not too active but I try, You can call me Eunhye! I am in my late 20's yet still with younger imaginations. I came from the Philippines and is a nurse by profession. I don't really have more time to pursue my writing because of joggling everyday from work to school as I'm also currently studying a foreign language. However, I need to have a life no matter how busy it gets and a huge part of my life is in reading and writing. Reading is my escape, writing is like my first love. I can't write everyday like I used to before but there are still times wherever I go and some words just popped into my mind and voila! Then I got a prose or a poem. So, you could expect most of my posts here to be poems or prose though I really want to write stories real bad. If I only have the luxury of time to finish a story. It's like I have this complex and vague imaginations in my mind that I need to put into writing but I can't produce and finish it yet. It's frustrating yet I know my time will come. When that time comes, I would definitely post it here. I am new here and not really familiar with the site and all but I know reading helps and I hope I would also receive tips from other members here.

Truly yours!

Eunhye

Grateful for the time you have spent reading my little poetry, see you!
