I'm sure everyone here knows about haiku. So, why not make some?

Here's one I wrote:

この春や
青息吐息
考える


Roumaji version:
kono haru ya
aoiki toiki
kangaeru


Note: "Aoiki toiki" is a Japanese idiom for "to be suffering."

Do you have any of your own? Here's a challenge: Try to include kigo and kireji in them, as well.

This one I made up on the spot:

春くると
外で歩いて
陽に浴びる.

I would also like to take this time to highlight one of favorite works by the Haiku master Soukan

さお姫の
春立ちながら
しとをして

If you know what this means, you've earned a snicker or two

I also like this one by Soukan:

waga oya no
shinuru toki ni mo
he wo kokite

Sorry I don't have it in kana and kanji. I don't know many kanji, and the book I have the haiku in only has roumaji.

I only know one by heart, and I forget who had written it > <

御免なさい
チョコレット中で
鳥がある


Gomennasai
Chokoretto naka de
Tori ga aru

I like it though xD

Can someone look over this haiku for me to make sure it makes sense grammatically? It's a gift so I want it to be perfect.

桜とは
舞って歌うや
妹よ

BTW, the 'ya' is a kireji.

You might wanna redo the middle stanza(the pause in 舞って also counts as a syllable. so it'd be 8 syllable altogether, instead of 7)

8? What do you mean? まってうたうや I count 7.
