Pattern of Haiku
Someday I would like to write lots of haiku. The pattern is five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. However, American haiku is allowed variations due to the nature of our language and special cadence.
Tiny points of green
Erupt through earth, flower buds
Encouraged, burst.
Southward flight under
Gray skies, promises to keep
In glorious light.
Parched and thirsty earth
Fire hazards, short fuses
Flare in summer’s heat.
