The beauty of haiku comes from being economical with your words (a recession friendly poem!)-you're forced to describe things as simply as possible (first line: five syllables, second line: seven syllables, third line: five syllables), and in the process, you find new ways of thinking and describing. Write a series of haikus about your favorite things.
Here are a few of my haikus:
It takes just one click
To capture simple beauty
And share it with all.
You read the first word
Immediately taken
To a world beyond
One half teaspoon here
Now a whole cup is added
Everything changes
Dipping under trees
While following the river
Tripping over logs
New notes meet your ears
A melody ripples through
Words that spin your head
