Writing a haiku!

When I taught in primary, the children used to love writing haikus. They were written as:
Line 1: 5 beats

Line 2: 7 beats

Line 3: 5 beats

So: Leaves drift in silence,
cool light gathers on the lane,
autumn breath exhales.

Anyone fancy composing one?

The pale sky darkens
My wasted summer scorns me
I’ll travel again.

Misty morns greet us.
Harvest festival is nigh.
Daylight hours shorten.

The days shorten now,
But speak not yet of Christmas.
This day is enough.

I cannot keep up.
He has long legs and he strides.
I have to walk fast.

(re OH and me on holiday 😄).

The rains came at last
Dusty brown lawns drank deeply
Fresh green shoots emerge

Candles lit at night
The cat curls on its cushion
The day breathes its last.

I just boiled two eggs
But one was very runny
I ate them never the less.
