A form of Japanese poetry. A haiku expresses a single feeling or impression and contains three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, respectively.

However there are different forms

Here is one I wrote after watching Rosalie ( our hound ) one snowy winter day in absolute joyful abandon ...snuffling here and there in the garden until she found her sweet spot

I did not observe the 5 7 5 form


wind blows frigid
trees bend and crack
warmth and comfort envelop me
--a bed of berries!
Don't squat with yer spurs on!

People try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved
