JOSIE'S POEMS
Haiku
By Josie Whitehead
HAIKU is a Japanese poetic form that consists of three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five in the third. The haiku developed from the hokku, the opening three lines of a longer poem known as a tanka. The haiku became a separate form of poetry in the 17th century.
HAIKU OF THE SEASONS
By Josie Whitehead
S P R I N G
Fresh green leaves appear.
Blossom adorns the fruit trees.
Spring is here again!
S U M M E R
Hot sunshine burns me.
Waves break on golden beaches.
Summer’s really here!
A U T U M N
Mists gently lifting.
Season of ripe harvest fruits.
Autumn's golden face!
W I N T E R
Cold winds bite my cheeks,
Snowflakes gently fall on roofs.
Winter’s chilly grip!
