Looking very good, Moon, Frankie and amaryn The good thing about haikus is the immediacy with which you can paint them. Truly capturing a moment.

Chirping birds take flight
Welcoming
Darn, that was quick. Where did it come from???
Welcoming
arms around my heart
home at last
In arabic we say the hearts were together In turkish that's kalp kalbi karsiderler I believe
Damn. I really like that one. I dont think I should ruin it
Home at last
Basket of warmth settles
Nestling love
I think I should move away from all the sunshine love and hope theme
wispy windswept stalks
tempting blessed sun and moon
songs sung in silence
(i like this game)
Welcome to enjoy it, tomatomic And thanks for your contributions. The idea is to pick the last line in the previous haiku, in this case Noor's "nestling love", though everyone is obviously welcome to practice as much as they like to in this thread
I'll pick up where Noor left... Was the 3-6-3 intentional? Arabic seems to be full of beautiful expressions, the little I know of it... Languages from warm cultures generally have many beautiful expressions
Nestling love
flutters past my soul -
white wagtail
white wagtail
accompanies her step
sweet swing sound
Sweet sing sound
complete my cacophony
strike the tone
Strike the tone
All ears hear too well
Ring, Death Knell
Whoops! It rhymes. Let's try an alternate:
- - - - - -
Strike the tone
All ears hear it loud
Ring, Death Knell
Which do you all prefer?
I prefer the 2nd.
Ring, death knell
let the new be born
exciting
Thanks for input!
Exciting
Flamingos one-legged
Take flight
Take flight
my imagination:
deep sea
Deep sea
Silent brilliant colors
Speak up
Dedicated to Doug Denslowe and his new song, "Baby Won't You Please (Come Home)?"
A new song
Unbridled excitement
A new friend
. . . . .
New music
Dances through my being
Old friend

So if i understand the trend i wonder how it changed from 3 syllables to 2
But i'll catch up so a lengthy explanation probably is not necessary
I love the new buttons

new song paints rainbow

Music is what feelings sound like

We hop as we see fit, supposedly 3-5-3 and 5-7-5 are the 'correct' formats but I really liked the 1-2-1's me and Noor did. Obviously to give the next writer a chance at something different, you need to write an asymmetric poem. I feel like going for 3-5-3'ish now with a 2-5-3...
on grey
splashes of cobalt
heavenly
Pure love
Heavenly
spilt seams of tender
joy, bursting
It's midnight, and Noor hits the town
Joy, bursting
kills desolation
serenely
okies
serenely
on gossamer wings
escape the sun
i'm out for now, i'm in the middle of fixing dinner
Music is what feelings sound like
Listen to the Love
