Make a haiku

FOR GODS SAKE PEOPLE THE VERSE FORM GOES LIKE THIS:

resplendent dimples
washed by early sunset hues
taste all of autumn

*sheesh*

Perhaps this has been discussed before, but actually, most experts agree that given the difference between Japanese and English word construction writing haiku in English is not bound by the same 5-7-5 structure. There are different acceptable forms of writing haiku in English, generally it should not EXCEED 17 syllables, but is usually less - as English syllables convey more meaning than Japanese "on".

create freely
dare to write a short haiku
live dangerously
 
not a single chance
will posts from me appear here
i've learned my lesson
 
black fingers on gray
tree bones stretch towards the night
the full moon shines through

streaming through the cracks
sunlight swirls deceptively
i need a sweater
 
daydreams can linger
but evenings hardly sustain
such fluff in the dark
