Haiku- always fun to write! Di you mind if I use this as an example in the classroom. The children absolutely love doing this, but sometimes like everything else, the better the examples........ the more understanding they are of the concept. Thanks for this ! Kaie

Gypsy Willow Hub Author 22 months ago

Hello Kaie. I would be honored for you to use this as an example for your children. I would love to see some of the results. Perhaps you could write a hub about it? Thanks for stopping by.

maven101 Level 5 Commenter 22 months ago

Very nice first effort...Simple, direct, and expressive...This is a different " haiku " than most other forms that require a certain rigidity of syllabic expression...Although it lacks the disciple of construction it conveys an immediacy to the poems' intent...I enjoyed reading this aloud, with your implied emphasis...Thanks for sharing this with us, I am looking forward to more of the same...Larry

lisadpreston profile image

lisadpreston Level 4 Commenter 19 months ago

What I find so beautiful about this poem is the raw honesty. My pride would never allow me to tell a man I am in love with that I need him, want him, or tell him to turn around, come back, or return. Although some have commented on the simplicity of the few words so directly put, I find the reality of what was said, to be extremely complicated. These words could only be uttered by a woman that is self assured, confident, and willing to risk all (emotionally) for love. You are an incredible woman. It saddens me that a woman of my age is either not brave enough or has never loved enough to utter such basic and simple words to a man.

Gypsy Willow profile image

Gypsy Willow Hub Author 18 months ago

Hi Lisa, thanks for your candid comment. My man is a ferry pilot and I am never sure he will return safely as his job is not without danger. I think this is where the raw emotion comes into play. PS there's always time!

lisadpreston profile image

lisadpreston Level 4 Commenter 18 months ago

Without knowing this, the poem could be interpreted so many different ways. As poetry often is. Knowing this about you and him gives me a whole new perspective and it is even more beautiful. None of us know if our loved one will return. I lost my husband 3 years ago, suddenly. I know the fear you feel. You at least get to say these words to your husband. I never got the chance and now I never will. Thank you for the explanation and my wish is that he has a safe return home to you every time.

Gypsy Willow profile image

Gypsy Willow Hub Author 18 months ago

Dear Lisa, I am sad to hear o your loss. Life is very precarious at best. Thanks for your good wishes for his safe return. xx

Gypsy Willow profile image

Gypsy Willow Hub Author 18 months ago

Hi Juliette, of course, I wrote it for him. He was on a difficult ferry bringing a small plane back from the middle east which was hazardous to say the least! Thankfully he returned safely shortly after he read this. It is hard to say the least, waiting in this situation. Thanks for stopping by

HI, I love this! I think it is because I am getting the idea of Haiku now, before I just thought they were short but profound poems, but now I realise that the most important thing about them is that each word is meaningful, there are no 'waste' words, and that is what makes it so special great example, cheers nell

nice poem, though im sorry to say that this isnt a haiku. a haiku is a japanese poem consisting of 3 lines, the first one 5 syllables, second 7, and then finally the third ending with five syllables. all in all this poem should have 17 syllables but it only has 16.

Enjoyed your Haiku, though the form is different, there have been developed several other forms of Haiku as well and this tends to fall in the free haiku category. Voted up.
