Haiku:Please rate these individually 1 (low) to 10 (high).?
Hanging from the eaves,
Icicles produced last night,
Stabbing my vision.
Slush, yesterday's snow,
Soaks my shoes all the way through.
Why not take the car?
Softly through the air
Bright crystals of H2O
Float down on my lawn.
Christmas with the folks:
Turkey and cranberry sauce,
With all the trimmings.
Freezing cold outside,
Warm and cozy in the house.
Time to play Scrabble.
The Springtime of Youth,
When we were young and foolish:
Winter memories.
Snowmen are my friends,
They never talk back to me,
They only listen.
My footsteps in snow,
Where no one has gone before:
Metaphor for life.
Haiku is great fun:
Winter, summer, autumn, spring.
Doesn't matter when.
Comments would also be appreciated.
Tenno 123, thanks for the good summary; you're in the lead for best answer.
Oops, in trying to edit this I apparently got it listed twice!
You seem to understand the principle and the formal constraints of the Haiku well. I like the first one. My understanding of Haiku philosophy is that you zoom in unto an observation of the tiny (in nature, for example a spider, or a snowflake) and through the observation make a subtle and implicit statement about life, the human condition etc. However the art of Haiku is to not explicitly state 'the broader message' (as you do when you say 'Metaphor for life' or 'winter memories') but to convey it through an image, as you do nicely in the christmas poem. Overall,I think you've done a great job. I suggest you scrap the last two ones and the one about springtime, though. The problem with your springtime poem, imho, is that it violates one of the formal constraints of Haiku, which is that there is a reference to (only) one season, aslo generally, I think that 'springtime of youth' is a watered down cliche, and Haiku generally avoids clichees. Otherwise, Keep it up !
