I never smiled
So much - Until you were born -
I’m richer each day
Always on my mind
I am constantly amazed
By the joy you bring
I can’t take credit
For the perfection of you -
But reap each reward
God blessed me early
Thankfulness abounds in me
Noteworthy grace
Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets...write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry! http://volweb.utk.edu/school/bedford/harrisms/haiku.htm
