Today it's Haiku day at WordCount Blogathon! A word which I was unaware of till I Googled.
Though at first look, it looks a simple set of three lines but as you read examples and with each , a picture is sketched in brain with just seventeen syllables.That's the beauty of Japanese haiku!I sat and tried doing English version of Haiku and managed three of them. Each has a different fragrance.

Haiku is a Japanese poem of seventeen syllables , in three lines of five,seven and five. it is an unrhymed syllabic form.Since it is so brief,a haiku is necessarily imagistic ,concrete and pithy ,capturing a single moment in a very few words.The most important characteristic of haiku is how it conveys,through implication and suggestion ,a moment of keen perception and perhaps insight into nature or human nature.

Gentle Sea breeze ...
Soft touch of handGazing at Orion
Croaking frog ...
A
splash in mud puddle
Chuckle
on lips
Rhythmic
music ...
A swirl
of frills
A Beat
skipped
I hope I managed to draw some rough strokes of images in mind by these.Hope to write more in future. :)
