Wri ting In Hai ku. Is Not That Ea sy To Do. Try It And You'll See...

Having known about Haiku for sometime,
I'm now discovering more about this beautiful Japanese Poetry style and attempting to write to it's disciplines with Nature being its most important theme.
Written in Japanese, it will appear vertically in one line and contain seventeen syllables.
Haiku written in English will appear in three lines with exactly five syllables in the first, seven in the second and five again in the third, making a total of seventeen syllables.
Haiku uses an economy of words and its content doesn't always appear to reveal all.
You might enjoy this Haiku written by the poet WandaKR
Full moon hanging low
Cuts a golden path across
A sleeping ocean...

Nature Shows How Weaverbirds Create Beautiful Tiny Homes...

The reason these little birds
are called Weaverbirds is obvious.
Once again nature shows us how to do things simply and beautifully.
There are about sixty different Weaverbirds in the species and the male always does the design and building as part of his wooing technique to attract a mate.
A journey begins with a single step and the Weaverbird's exquisite nest begins with a single strand of plant fibre.
You might take a few minutes to see more about them and watch a fascinating BBC video on how they build their beautiful tiny homes.
Nature shows us how. Again. And again...

Nature's Marvels...
