The Ocean (String Haiku)

by Meena Krish   Aug 20, 2009


Under her blanket
discovery awaits of
long ago treasures

Many a story
and forgotten memories
slumber in darkness

She is majestic
a lovely woman in blue
with erratic moods

The way she dances
and her seducing physique
irresistible

Haiku is an unryhming form of Japanese poetry
with a syllable count of 5,7,5. Generally about
nature.

    The first three haiku are really pleasing though I feel the last one could have been better. English haiku doesn't need to be 5-7-5. It just needs to be be within 17 syllables, not necessarily 17. So that saves you from using a few filler words here and there! :)
