Your haiku should consist of three lines, with a 5-7-5 syllable structure.

For Example:

Shadows lit my path
At last I have seen the light
Alone no longer

If you ever fall into a "haiku block", try looking at your favorite pictures.
Or just look out your window, nature is an awe inspiring mind opener.

Many believe that writing haikus helps people to relax and reach a calm, meditative peace of mind. Be yourself, and enjoy the writing. Don't press yourself if nothing comes at first, the best work usually happens when you least expect it.

In this group, you may also share some of your favorite haikus written by other authors. However, if you do, be sure to give them the proper credit. If it comes to my attention that you are taking other people's haikus and trying to pass them off as your own- you will be banned from the group.

Feel free to add any inspirational photos with your haiku posts, or directly into our group images.

If you do not wish to share your haikus, you may still feel free to join and simply post some inspirational photos to the group for the rest of us!

Please be polite to all those who post their work here!

Negative feedback is highly frowned upon, unless asked for by the writer.

Treat Everyone as you would wish to be treated.
