So hello guys, I'm Franz and I write
Haiku whenever I'm bored and/or there's nothing to do.
Just what is a
Haiku?
Quote:
"Haiku is a poetic form and a type of poetry from the Japanese culture. Haiku combines form, content, and language in a meaningful, yet compact form. Haiku poets, which you will soon be, write about everyday things. Many themes include nature, feelings, or experiences. Usually they use simple words and grammar. The most common form for Haiku is three short lines. The first line usually contains five (5) syllables, the second line seven (7) syllables, and the third line contains five (5) syllables. Haiku doesn't rhyme. A Haiku must "paint" a mental image in the reader's mind. This is the challenge of Haiku - to put the poem's meaning and imagery in the reader's mind in ONLY 17 syllables over just three (3) lines of poetry!"

So why
Haiku?
Hmmm.. perhaps because it's quite easy and short to do compared to the usual poetry forms which take a lot of time. I guess that's all.
As you can see I'm not yet a professional in writing a
Haiku, as I said I only write just to keep my self preoccupied during boring hours. Since most of the times I'm quite busy, it may take a little while updating this one since I might not find time to write due to school. Anyways please enjoy your time reading my works

So this will be my first Haiku. I included an image so that you guys can see a clear image of what I am writing about. I hope you like it and feel free to criticize.

It comforts my soul
