Haiku

I've been advised by my creative coach to try my hand at haiku poetry. The standard form is 5 syllables/7 syllables/5 syllables, which is no easy feat when you are asked to address universal issues in the three piddly lines. Here are a few that I've come up with:

walking briskly smears
luscious oils from silver tubes
a streaky night sky

lushly verdurous
myriad of species move

with fluid music

hip makes figure eights
in a warm sea of summer
dolphins undulate

Okay, so the last one doesn't really qualify because it has a rhyme in it. I'll keep trying.
