As falling snow makes
No sound on the frozen ground,
I meditate in silence.
Silence...how soothing
To the anxious spirit.
The rabbit sleeps in his burrow.
Where are the birds?
There's still seed in the feeder.
They have gone to a warmer place.
Silence...how soothing To the anxious spirit. The rabbit sleeps in his burrow/// that's beautiful
A well executed poem.... Truly excellent and brilliant.....5 stars *****
Bri, the syllabic constraint is not chiseled in stone. The Japanese haikus use concrete imagery, nature and animals, and allude to the seasons. Try reading Basho. He's one of the best Japanese artists, and William Packard's book "The Art of Poetry Writing."
i like this but 'The first line is 5 syllables. The second line is 7 syllables. The third line is 5 syllables like the first.' is what Google tells me. bri ;)
Thank you Varsha. Have you read the 19th century Japanese poet Basho? He was a haiku master.
Thank you Maytag. The Japanese poet Basho inspired these haikus.

Yes silence is good at time. It revives souls and increase our own understanding.... beautiful
