National Haiku Writing Month

Haiku. Are you familiar with this form of poetry? I think that it is fitting we celebrate Haiku during February, as Haiku is known for being 'contained' to 3 simple lines and a set syllable count.

Haiku doesn't have to rhyme. A plus for many testing the waters as they begin writing poetry. The basics: 3 lines. First line has 5 syllables. Second line has 7 syllables and the Third line has 5 syllables.

Here is an example of Haiku which will also be in my soon to be published book of poetry.
Sneak peeks are always exciting.

Turquoise, Indigo, Cobalt

Looking forward to reading your Haiku!
