I ran across some haikus I had written back in Dec 1998 and thought that it would be fun to have people write and post their own haikus!

A haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form having only three unrhymed lines consisting of five, seven, and five syllables.

Below are my haikus (the words in bold are the titles).

Nighfall:

As darkness descends
And quiet envelopes me
Sleep is my blanket.

A baby's death:

A mother's heart torn
A father's unending ache
Their child is now free.

Across the miles:

A far off heart beats
And mine matches its rhythm.
Distance means nothing.


Ok.. now your turn.. let's read your haikus! (no nasty limericks or sexual inuendos please!)
