The Art of Haiku
From Dictionary.com:
haiku [(heye-kooh)]
A form of Japanese poetry. A haiku expresses a
single feeling or impression
and contains three unrhymed lines of five,
seven, and five syllables, respectively.
Examples:
First autumn morning:
the mirror I stare into
shows my father's face.
-Kijo Murakami
A mountain village
under the pilled-up snow
the sound of water.
-Masaoka Shiki

|| It has to follow the 5, 7, 5 syllable rule. Just slap your hand for every break between syllables or just make sure that each sentence has that amount of syllables in it.

 . . .wasted, paralyzed I need ten thousand layers of disguise. . .
I am grieving now
For the yearning in my soul
There is more out there
. . .built to save what's left that has already worn away. . .

Just so you all know... Haiku relates to nature normally. It is odd and unfamiliar to write about anything but. I asked for things such as seasons but yeah... Haiku is normally nature in relations to life, just so you guys know...
And you never stated how many we may enter either...
For every deep sigh
For every sight to be seen
One rose may linger
A soft little smile
A glistening tear streaked face
Calling to the rain
All Winter Wonders
Started with the exchanging
Of His love for Her's.

Konkuro: Thanks! I've posted your entry
Kisitiene: Posted yours too.
I've already sent a message to Mindy. We're deciding right now who the winner should be. I'm sorry that I couldn't decide yesterday since I had quite a bit of things going on. But today for sure! biggrin
