5 Vowel Haiku, and Sometimes Y
You’ve heard of a haiku, right? A haiku is three lines. The first and third are 5 syllables. The second line is seven syllables. This gives the haiku a total of 17 syllables. It doesn’t rhyme. Haiku poems have Japanese origins and are focused on the natural world. Nowadays, many countries have embraced the form. Every subject is fair game. For example, see how much fun I had with vowels!
A
Apologetic
When answering any call
From anybody.
E
Ever wonder why
E is everywhere except
Alas, not in you.
I
I think indeed it
Is interesting only
if I imagine.
O
Notice how slow one’s
Thoughts go when holding close to
A slow long O sound?
U
Until you use your
Blue and purple umbrella
You will be useless.
And sometimes…
Y
Your yin and yang laugh
At your yearning yell asking
Why and why and why.
Have a very A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y day!
