Silently hiding in the dew.
Tiny transparent drops of morning mist.
resting softly on the pedals of my rose.


That's great imagery drinker
But isn't a Haiku 5,7,5 syllables? Are there exceptions? (I'm not trying to be a knowitall, I honestly don't know)

Well, thank you for your comment, perhaps I shall try once again, now if someone will please refresh my memory as to the proper syllable count, it is 5-7-5 is it not?blushing




Haiku:

A Japanese poem composed of three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables. Haiku often reflect on some aspect of nature.

Poets started writing haikus in English in the 1950’s and they adopted a 5-7-5 form; which means that a haiku has 3 lines, the first line is 5 syllables, the 2nd line has 7 and the final line has 3 syllables. This is generally considered a traditional English Haiku.

There are several versions of a haiku, the traditional 5-7-5, as well as the the 2-3-2 versions 5-7-5-7-7.

Other forms:-

Choka:
consists of 5-7 Japanese sound units phrases repeated at least twice, and concludes with a 5-7-7 ending.

Tanka:
consists of five units (often treated as separate lines when Romanized or translated) usually with the following mora pattern:

5-7-5 / 7-7.

Senyru:
A short Japanese poem that is similar to a haiku in structure but treats human beings rather than nature, often in a humorous or satiric way.
