Autumn Jump (Haiku)

by Soft Parade   Sep 8, 2010


As skydivers Fall,

burnt from the Summer sun.

Thrill-seeking Leaves!

note: A Haiku poem is three lines long. Usually 5-7-5 syllables. The theme is more than likely always about nature, it uses the image presented to fill in what is left out in the poem.

This was my first attempt in the form. All comments welcome and redirection to your own Haiku poems would be welcomed. Thanks.

    I have noticed that the syllable counts were not the usual style everyone is fond of which is 5-7-5. Also, A haiku should be free of excessive usage of punctutions, each line should flow accordingly without the help of punctuations, one rules along with too many :) Also a haiku should present two juxtaposed parts in three lines where the last line should differ with the first two lines, I think you managed to create that, skydivers falling, and turned out to be "thrill seeking leaves" how creative!

    However, personally I think you did a good job there. The subject was well portrayed, and it was amazing, you managed to capture that AHA moment.

    They say it takes up years before one could master the haiku form. Personally, I tried to perfect them as well, but I found it hard to really create that AHA moment.

    Good job!
