Twenty-one Scenes Of Life And Poetic ThoughtsTwenty-one Scenes Of Life And Poetic Thoughts
Robert J. Lindley, 4-01-2019
Note: These were written and not presented here until now. I do so enjoy writing Haiku. A challenge writing in such few words yet capturing a scene, a memory and piece of life and then casting it upon paper. I hope you may enjoy these as much as I did in the composing of them.

First ever attempt , trying for 5-7-5
The channel breeze dozed
Dazed its napping lunch time guests
Choked while gently swallowing .
Three minutes . Need to take longer .

Not bad but the syllable count is incorrect for a standard haiku..Originally Posted by Juicer66
As is yours is 5, 7, 7.
Remove the word-- "gently".. And it fits the bill.- 575
The imagery is great, the depth is on the mark.
All the creation would need is correcting the last verse and giving it a title..
Title of poem in haku takes on an extremely important role of description and adding to the deeper purpose, enhanced imagery and message sent with the piece, imho.-Tyr

Nice encouragement . Thanks -- even if you privately think it is crap .
Counting obviously went wrong in line three --- a touch of CDC syndrome .
Will think of a Title .
