Seventeen (5 - 7 - 5)

Thanks to Indigo on her That’s My Answer, I’m getting hooked on haiku. In case you’re not familiar with haiku, it’s a three-line Japanese verse form, with five syllables in the first and third lines, seven syllables in the second line. I decided to try one and…..

I’ve never tried to
Write haiku, but I love them.
Nice that others do.

You’ve got me started.

To think in syllables and
Lines by the number.

Rain and massage in
The same day. What could make this
Even better? Sunshine.

Evening ends. TV,
e-mails, August plans confirmed.
Cool sleeping weather.
