Haiku  (◔▾◔)                                                                   

Eletta Senso questa settimana ha proposto (qui) un haiku su questo aprile ancora freddo e piovoso. Come sapete, questa forma poetica ha una struttura molto semplice: tre versi composti da 17 sillabe in totale: il primo verso ha 5 sillabe, il secondo 7, il terzo 5.

Ecco il mio:

Sotto la pioggia
germogli sfavillano
sul verde manto

Se volete giocare con noi, inviate i vostri haiku che verranno aggiunti qui sotto⤵️

Biagina – parole e basta

una rondine
cela il proprio volo
nella fiducia

Francesca – FA minore

Aprile, fresco,
Vivido, luminoso.
Ma sta finendo.

Shera – sherazade2011

Fa freddo oggi
Rabbrividisce anche
Il mite lilla.

Daniela – Il Canto delle Muse

Sguardi di lana
su rondini e viole
troppo precoci

Luisella – Tra Italia e Finlandia

Ancora neve
Aprile crudele ma
Incantevole

Silvano – Silvano Bottaro Blog

Nel bosco
Chiazze e rivoli di colore
Aprile, primavera

unallegropessimista ha mandato un messaggio che potrebbe diventare un haiku:

Sulle sillabe
son scarso ma potrei
fare di meglio

Silvia – silviadeangelis40d

Freddo improvviso
s’ammansiscono bocci
sotto la pioggia

Far tre Aiku
giocati sopra il “troppo”
è forse “troppo”.

Tu sei “troppo”.
Esatto: “troppo” bella,
e brava “troppo”.

L’invidia che
ti perseguiterà
“troppo” sarà.

Che Gli hai fatto
per farti Dio così?
Di certo “troppo”!

Stefano Pierini

Infreddolito
io leggo Bunin! Oibò!
Ascoltami eh!

Vikibaum – tramineraromatico

sorride aprile
sciarpe, felpe e ombrelli
colori d’acqua

Gian Paolo – Il regno di newwhitebear

Cielo sereno,
dopo cupo grigiore
aria limpida.

Rosalba – Nella mente e nel cuore

Anche se piove
c’è un sole dorato.
Viva la vita!

caro aprile/
riempi qualche barile/
gocce di vita/

This week’s proposal is a Haiku on this still cold and rainy April. As you know, these poetic forms have a very simple structure consisting of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables respectively.

Here is mine:

Under the rainfall,
gleaming gems on green mantle,
April’s silent song.

If you want to play with us, send haikus in your own language: they will be shown here⤵️

Arbind – ARBIND KUMAR BLOG

Raining cats and dogs
Then entire menagerie of the shed
Rain makes us April fool .

Jag – baraenbildavmig

Naturen tvekar
våren väntar på värmen
Lynniga april.

Allan – Picture This

Vancouver in Spring
April blooms everywhere
A feast for the eyes.

Pat – e-Quips – sent an old childhood riddle that has the right number of syllables to turn into a Haiku:

If April showers
brings May flowers, do May
flowers bring Pilgrims?

todayls – retired Engineer

Sweet April rain comes
quite often these days and
shines dark clouds away.

Mary – Midwest Mary

Fickle Spring

Rain, wind, sun, and clouds.
Warm and lovely, then chilly.
Fickle spring weather.

Monica – Spark of Inspiration

Wish upon a STAR
Dream, big dreams, for thirty days
Then watch what happens!

Cindy – Unique Times

fog shadows landscape
preserves blooms time to shine
bright future ahead!

SoundEagle 🦅ೋღஜஇ sent a double haiku whose title is  “There My Gothic Knight“:

There My Gothic Knight
Where I Seek Thy Crested Might
Dare High Gnostic Flight

There My Gothic Knight
Where I Seek Gypsy Delight
Spare Thy Crested Might

which is based on his own quatrain:

Swirls of Gypsy Delight
Usurp my Gothic Knight
Reign not SoundEagle🦅’s Flight
For I seek thy Crested Might

Annie – Seeking Divine Perspective

Jagged purple spires
Rainless, sapphire desert skies
Nature’s severe beauty.

Destiny – Destiny’s Designz

steady stream though soft
chilly dull some musical
raindrops on rooftops

    I gladly submit the following to satisfy the Haiku form of 17 syllables arranged in three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. In addition, I have featured start rhymes, internal rhymes and end rhymes in my Haiku.

    Bare All Gnostic Flight

    This new Haiku is based on my own quatrain:

    Swirls of Gypsy Delight
    Usurp my Gothic Knight
    Reign not SoundEagle🦅’s Flight
    For I seek thy Crested Might

    Yours sincerely,
