Haiku is Cool

Haiku Poetry is Cool

I have always loved writing and poetry, but I don't think I'm very good. So for a long time I didn't write. My daughter loves to write and aspires to be a professional. I hope she succeeds. But because of her enthusiasm, I have begun to write again.

I have recently discovered Haiku. It is so cool! How can you convey a deep feeling in an elegant way with only 17 syllables? Three lines; 5, 7, and 5.

Haiku is a kind of Japanese poetry writing that is restrictive and yet freeing. The challenge of it intrigues me. I am going to do it more.

Haiku Poetry,

A way cool way to convey,

One's thoughts and feelings.

See what I mean? I need to learn how to be more indirect and metaphorical though.
