A Selection of Haiku (Form and Favour)

Post by Philip G Bell on 2007-10-23, 14:41

A small collection of Haiku from my collection "Form and Favour"

Chestnut

come winter chestnut
heat through on glowing embers
to warm and nourish

Frost

morning frost shimmers
marking the winter onset
tiny jewels of ice

Sillabub

whip up some haiku
sillabub of syllables
delight to consume

© Philip G. Bell

Where at all possible I try to be as true to form as I can. If I modify a form in any way I usually say so like when modifying a Petrarchan Sonnet with Iambic Pentameter. The seasonal theme is in keeping but sometimes limiting as others may have found, but I appreciate your taking note of this. Not too many would.
Thank you again.
