Challenge!

[katikat]

I challenge all my friends to write a haiku! Just one, about anything that comes to your mind...

A haiku of my own:

I caught the wind in
My outstretched hands, my fingers
Turning cold and numb

My second haiku ever! Woohoo! I feel so proud of myself :D

I'm not sure if this
haiku works cause it's just a
long run on sentance

XD

:D Good job! :D

Ufufu, thanks XD

I'll bite and keep the hand theme going as well

Sunbeam in my hand,
I open and release a
golden butterfly.

Anou... haiku.

Isn't there a rule or something? About the number of words for each line? 5-7-5 or something like that? Or am I thinking of something else entirely. Which is not uncommon. ^^;

[kwycksylver.livejournal.com]

It's 5-7-5 syllables for a total of 17 and the traditional haiku mentions a season as well.

Thank you!!! I think I read it in a Japanese history book and wasn't sure if I got it right. Now I know I'm not loopy! ^___^

Underneath the tree
Petals of pink fall and fly
Sakura rising

...I dunno... o.o

I so love it! *dreamy eyes* The haiku sounds wonderful!

Silvery moonlight
shines lovingly in the night
a summer delight

I didn't mean for it to rhyme... *shrugs* Hope it okay. Is there a rule against that?

[moonraven-croft.livejournal.com]

Because I didn't like how the last one rhymes...

Gentle autumn breeze
stirs whispering leaves of gold
dancing in the trees.

Wow! I love both but the second is more... magical, I would say! :) Thank you for joining the challenge! :) *smooch*

[moonraven-croft.livejournal.com]

^^; Thank you. Glad you like them.

Actually... I have to thank you for putting up the challenge. I was in a very boring meeting and was glad to have something fun to do to pass the time. ^______^
