#haiku 3

water gently falls
down verdant lush clad mountain
forms a pure fountain

A haiku by design.
With a simple rhyme.
A well writ piece of work.
Surely not a quirk.

Thank you kindly for the read

Thank you so much Ja Ja, I really appreciate your comment.

Haiku and Senryu are great for taking "snapshots " aren't they? And adding a rhyme which isn't required is a bonus......stan

Yes Scribbler I agree they are for snapshots and I also know they don't require rhymes though mine ryhmed .I really appreciate your stopping by to read and your comment too.Thank you so much.

Created the imagery for me which you desired to bring out in this Haiku

eh?
Great efforts so far. Read some of the famous ones, like Baisho. Those 3 short lines can be very powerful, and note the distinction Stan made between haiku and senryu.
You don't have to be pure in form but it always pays to know exactly what you are doing.

cheers,
