Summer Haiku

Open fields of wheat
swaying in the golden sun.
The Harvest is near.

Hi!

I really like this simple haiku, although I was somewhat puzzled by the title: is it not an autumn haiku? or, is an end-of-summer lament? Either way, very nicely expressed in the conciseness of seventeen syllables: there seems to be a genuine feeling of ripeness and orange warmth in the few words you have used.

I'm very much interested in syllabic structures at the moment. I've started (only recently) to employ a set of rules through syllables and often rhyme. I should very much like you to read my poetry to see what you think (especially 'Sojourn in Mantua' and 'Reflections').

Anyway, well done!

Take care,

Adam

Thanks Adam, will go straight away to look at your work. I once entered a competition where we had to write an untitled poem of nine words, three lines each with three words - thought you might like to try it as you are interested in structure.
