I was sitting in Dad's back yard with the cats two days ago, when I decided to try writing some haiku. I still have things to learn about subject and form, but I think I at least got the 5-7-5 syllable form right. The first one was 3-5-3.
Clear blue sky
Not a cloud in sight
Sun shining bright
The sky is a sea
Clouds sail lazily like ships
Going to and fro
Under a clear sky
Gazing up from the lake bed
Sunlight filters down
Old iron fences
Showing signs of wear and tear
Monuments to time
Old tree standing high
Reaching up toward the sky
Watching the birds fly
Sleek cat crouching down
Eyes to sky where birds abound
All flitting around
