hey, i've joined a small poetry group and i was really inspired when we were taught haiku, these are all of the ones i have written so far. i would really love your feedback!! A hot busy room In the middle of the dayBecomes cool and calm. Could you ever feelThe same things I feel inside?Blossoming or dead? Empty porch swing creaksWhere I used to watch you sitNow it is empty. The music no moreThe radio is silentYou hushed its sweetness. Bright lights dark tunnelThe clink and clank of cold hard steelSteel just like your eyes. Wash you off my skinObvious you don’t want meBut touch me once more. (sorry i haven't quite got the hang of the setup yet)

Really great! I love haikus, and you have some nice offerings here. But, just so you know, haikus don't HAVE to follow the 5,7,5 syllabel scheme. You can do free form ones, as well. the words just seem to flow freely in and out of existence, with the ease of the gods...
It helps having restraints like that, makes me more focused. It also makes you think very carefully about the words you use; good practise.
hey guys, thanks for all the great feedback, i've relayed it all to my poetry group, we would love some more though!!
