One of my favorite forms of poetry is the haiku, a 3 line Japanese poetic form with a total of seventeen syllables, (follows a 5-7-5 syllable pattern). I write Haikus when I’m feeling stressed and need to pour out an intense emotion using metaphorical nature imagery.

Haikus By Leah

Monday Mourning

Monday Mornings rise

up to reluctant commutes

to a dull duty

New Soil

A stagnant seedling

sits unwatered, neglected.

Time for a new soil
