It is the job of poetry to clean up our word-clogged reality by creating silences around things.

ondays in May are theme days for Blogathoners and today’s theme is to write and post a haiku. Last year, I posted a little bit about what a haiku is and posted one that was 5-6-5. Traditionally, it follows a 5-7-5 syllables per line pattern, which this year's haiku follows. Enjoy!
Dew
Plump petals quiver -
The thunder was long and loud.
Sorrow slips down, slow.
Oremus pro invicem,
~ Mikaela
Try your hand at haiku and post either it or a link to it in the comments!
Beautiful choice of words, Mikaela.

I love the whole idea of haiku, capturing the present moment, spare words, use of nature. It's all good. I usually do better with fewer syllables as some books recommend for English.
