Remember that haiku are image based, not based upon sound when one reads the verses.
And I have myself done the same when editing to create the image desired, oft changing a word forgetting that it has more syllable than the one it replaces.
Your ability to compose haiku is already on a high level in my opinion. --Tyr

Memories In the Garden
Abandoned book lies
unread, unnoticed, unloved
sad woman looks back

Trying the “Lune” format (5-3-5):
Languid Afternoon
Calm water flows by
two lovers
sunbeams on soft grass

Words Scorch the Heart
Betrayal is penned
on paper so white and pure
room spins, letter drops

In the Old, Old Library
Stacks of dusty books
forgotten armchair beckons
real world fades away

MISTY MARINE MORN
Hazy horizon
tangy salt spray embraces
gull cries, tide recedes

My friend, those are three wonderful and top class haiku. I wish that I had composed them!
You certainly have poetry in your veins and clearly exhibit immense talent.
Such a gift should be exercised and presented to others to read and enjoy/benefit from, as truth is , poetry is a gift to the world, IMHO!
Bravo!! -Tyr

Thank you Robert. I’m sure I have a long way to go to earn such praise, but I’m enjoying the process too much to let that stop me. I especially like composing these during those long almost-sleepless nights. I think others here should try it too.
Eventually, I will try a longer form. I’ve always loved sonnets, so maybe that’s next. In fact, we included one in our wedding.

That Cherished Memory
