This is a simple haiku I wrote in art class yesterday.

Deep in the desert
The red dragon breathes, softly
Softly in it's peace

*jumps in and hugs* ^.^ Hello!

I'm guessing you are new at haikus? The poll mentions it... Hur-ray! You're trying something new! Yet I...particularly don't care for this haiku... ;_; sorry... But dun worry. Write more ^.^ You'll get better, I'm sure.

*rereads haiku* It's starting to make me sleepy...in a good way....

First rule of haiku:

It doesn't rhyme.

I liked it, but I'm liberal.

Oh, I can make them longer? I always figured it was just 3 plain lines. sweatdrop

It's not just 3 plain lines o.o There's supposed to be a certain amount of syllabels per line...17 syllables total. First line has 5 syllabels, second has 7, and the third has 5 syllables <.< Buuuut...we won't hold you strongly to that wink My own haikus don't match that and most haikus translated from Japanese don't follow it afterwards. Techinquely you can make it longer...a series of 3 or 4 haikus as one poem... I'd rather see you try a couple more standard ones first though ^.^

Softly and softly rhyme believe it or not.

I wish I could speak and write better in Japanese, I can say a few things but I can't write or read anything. I love the sound of Japanese haiku, when I get good at Japanese, I want to write a HUGE haiku just because.
