Haiku about Haiku

     I like haiku.
     As far as I can remember, I've only ever written one haiku, but I'm proud of it:

     ~Ha!

     I'm sure most people know this, but haiku is a style of Japanese poetry.

To write haiku,

Syllables must be counted.

Refreshing poem.

(Okay, so now I've written two haikus...)

     In English, you normally use 5 syllables on the first line, 7 on the next, and 5 on the last to make a haiku.
     ... but something people often overlook is that a well written haiku generally juxtaposes two different ideas with a common theme. This has the effect of surprising the reader slightly when he or she comes to the last line.
     In my opinion, this is what makes haiku great. Who doesn't love surprises?

A patch of daisies,

Pink and white blooms in the grass,

Close to shut out rain.

 (And then there were three...)

     Well, I'm just about done now... but just in case anybody's wondering, the inky look of the image up there ⤴︎ was produced by... actually, let me explain it this way;

Photoshop's round brush.

Custom preset makes ink marks.

Drawn with old Wacom.
