Haiku

Haiku (also called nature or seasonal haiku) is an un-rhymed Japanese verse consisting of three un-rhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables (5, 7, 5) or 17 syllables in all. Haiku is usually written in the present tense and focuses on nature

A Summer Day

Bright rays of sunshine
Leaves rustling in the light breeze
Birds chirping their songs

Acrostic

Acrostic Poetry is where the first letter of each line spells a word, usually using the same words as in the title.

Fall Leaves

Falling down all around various colors
Autumn’s reds, browns, oranges, and yellows
Lovely rainbow to walk on for lovers
Leaves falling on their fellows

Love to play in the pretty leaves
Easy to get lost in them
After clearing them from the eaves
Various piles in the yard for mayhem
Everyone dances with the breeze
Sending leaves scattered again to rake them
