My Haiku Attempts
Starlit bird, fly high.
The moon, planets, and beyond,
Go into the Night.
Black squirrel, chitter
Scamper, fleetingly, across
The red maple branch.
Unseen eyes, they glare,
The walls have terrible hands
That grasp, claw, and tear.
I see the moon, bright,
Stars are her celestial path,
She smiles; I smile back.
Barking dog, must you
Annoy me, in many ways.
I will beat you, stop.
-My Dad, Camping 2016
I love to bark, lots,
I greet every stranger, see?
Dad does not like it.
-My Dog, Camping 2016
No need for toothpaste,
I got the cheese, did I not?
So what I forgot?
-My Parents' Friend, Camping 2016
Little pup, quiet,
Play in the grass and flowers,
Quieter than mine.
-My Parents' Friends' Dog, Camping 2016

When I went camping, I got so severely bored in the wee hours- when everyone was too tired to talk- and simply wrote Haiku. Originally, I thought the format was 5-4-5, but I've fixed it since then. Some of these are nature inspired, others simply popped into my head.
