Haiku - A Beautiful Way to Share

I'm a fan of haiku poetry. It's sweet and to the point - 3 lines, a total of 17 syllables, pure and lovely. A simple way to express beauty and emotion. So on this blustery Friday night, here are five original haiku poems about the things that are currently on my mind.

Emotion often is the primary subject of a Haiku::
Happiness
A margarita
On Friday night after work
Goodness for the soul.
Animals are often subjects of Haiku:
Kittens
Stop eating your puke
Why are cats so disgusting
Love them anyway.
Dreams are beautifully expressed in Haiku form:
Hope
Cheering for the Saints
Drew Brees is cute and he can
Make the pigskin fly.
Haiku is known for being about the weather:
Rain
My house is so cold
I contemplate a Snuggie
But they are heinous.
Haiku can be a great way to ponder a question:
Culprit
Could allergy eyes
Be caused by the carpet at
Work in my office?
As you can see, poetic beauty is all around us in the smallest of moments. Happy Friday!!!
