One-line haiku: 1. leaves blowing into a sentence 2. Mental hospital my shadow stays outside 3. a stick goes over the falls at sunset 4. alone tonight one fish ripples the lake 5. a stick goes over the falls at sunset (From The haiku anthology: haiku and senryu in English / edited by Cor van den Heuvel. - [3rd ed.]

From The haiku anthology: haiku and senryu in English / edited by Cor van den Heuvel. - [3rd ed.]. - New York: W.W. Norton,1999.) Three-line haiku: 1.spring is here/ the cat’s muddy paw prints/ on the window-sills 2.moss-hung trees/ a deer moves into/ the hunter’s silence 3. in a temple/ a/ heartbeat Two-line haiku: 1. on the bright marquee/ a man’s shadow changes the letters 2. hottest day of the year/ a breeze in the distant treetops 3. androgynous stranger/ winks at me

If i'm not mistaken, i see a kitten/cat, NOT a butterfly. The cat must have REALLY gotten lost in the bush! Despite other comments...[ I like the poem]... not all would consider it a 'proper' haiku**, i think. [But it certainly gives a vision of the natural world ] ....hai·ku noun a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables, in three lines of five, seven, and five, traditionally evoking images of the natural world. an English imitation of this.

A nice little poem! Thanks for sharing!

A wonderful haiku we can all see.
