Winter Haikus What is a Haiku? A fairly short poem, actually. A haiku must be written in 3 lines, each with a certain amount of syllables. The first line has 5, the second line has 7, the third line has 5. You cannot have more or less. Many people have difficulties writing these, but this is a great time to learn and practice! If you want, make it look pretty using BBcodes. Why winter? Seasons are one of the simplest things to write about when making a haiku. Also, winter will be ending soon. May as well write about it until I nail you with poetry challenges about spring. ;) Nice... May I have an example? Absolutely! Snowflakes falling down They make blankets on the ground It's sparkling outside
I'll probably come up with a few more, but here's some to start the challenge off! Gust of wind, white blur Winter's heart opens to us A chilling embrace. Coming with the cold A shifting weather, mood, heart All warmth forgotten. Frost and chill and cold The heart of winter brings these Warmth sought in the hearth.

Snowdrop Tiny little snow drops fall, Gracing with silver a world, In waiting for melty snow. Voice of Winter Ever so softly, Snow taps against my window, The voice of winter.
The snow overflows the very tops of my boots. Now my socks are wet. A white blanket spreads between the sentinel trees unbroken and pure.
