This section contains all my other poems written in the traditional haiku style but with some slight changes in structure as the original form usually contains three lines only.

The father of haiku is Matsuo Basho, the Japanese wanderer-poet with a strong knowledge of Chinese classical poetry. Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry.  Haiku poems consist of 3 lines only .  The first and last lines of a Haiku have 5 syllables and the middle line has 7 syllables (5 - 7- 5).  The lines rarely rhyme and  covers topics about nature, love, plants and animals. The best example of a haiku is using it in a riddle with your audience guessing the answer.
