How do I make a Haiku?

A haiku is a short poem, usually about nature. But here's the tricky part: It's only three lines, and there have to be a certain amount of syllables in each one. Five syllables in the first line, seven in the second, and five again in the third.

For example:
I hear wind outside (5 syllables)
The day is long and pretty (7 syllables)
The clouds are clearing (5 syllables)

Haiku Contest winners!

Blood shines in the light

This is my haiku.
It is very interesting.
It's about DL.

Here's my real one...

The moonlight shone bright.
It was time, what stopped me... gone.
Should I help vampires?

[Jugernugetx]

When vamps see the light,
They need their great beverage,
Blood, vamps pride and shine.



Dunno lol. Nice contest though!

[Jcyee]

Watch out for the sun,
From which you might need to run,
For you are the one.

idk but gl everyone

[Lady_Pebbles]

Considering the notoriously epic fail of the Eli Holden issue, I created this haiku in his honor...

Eli Holden
Hunting the hunter,
exists just in mind,
playing hide and seek.

Lmao... Sorry couldn't help myself but yes that is my entry until futher notice. XD


EDIT: By the way, use www.howmanysyllables.com if you aren't sure how many syllables a word in your poem has.

Bound by eternal life,
The blood crosses their seances,
Which they only pursue at night.

Finding a river
Having a picnic
With my family

Drinking lots of blood
Getting the best gear you can
Hiding from the sun

Ravaging like sea.. Dreamless!

Indeed, or I've seen TC used. "Topic Creator". Only seen it on gamefaqs, though, so that may explain it.
