SINCE IVE NOT SEEN A THREAD FOR THESE YET ILL GO AHEAD AND MAKE ONE.. AND IF IM BLIND AND OVERLOOKED THE THREAD PLEASE MOVE THIS SO I DONT LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE FOOL..LOL

FOR THOSE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT A HAIKU IS... ITS A FORM OF POETRY CONSISTING OF THREE LINES FOLLOWING A SPECIFIC SYLLABLE COUNT (GET READY TO CLAP YOUR HANDS EVERYONE)

NOW THERE ARE MANY TYPE OF HAIKUS.. I PREFER TO USE WHAT I CALL A FREE FORM HAIKU...I ONLY TAKE SYLLABLE COUNT INTO CONSIDERATION.
1ST LINE = 5 SYLLABLES
2ND LINE = 7 SYLLABLES
3RD LINE = 5 SYLLABLES

AND FOR AN EXAMPLE... HERE I GO AHEM

ONLY TO LEAVE YOU
FRAGMENTS OF MY SHATTERED HEART
SOAKED IN BLOOD STAINED TEARS

This was beautiful Primal.

A love once ignored,
Comes hurdling to the floor,
Heart splatter, batter.

Words fall on deaf ears,
Working to keep heart unseen,
Pointless, see inside

SILENT BREATHS ESCAPE
HER PERFECT LIPS, UTTERED SIGHS
GIVE HER DREAMS AWAY
