This is second attempt to Haiku. I think this time it's all right. But I am still not sure if I have portrayed the theme well or not. Your comments needed.

G R A S S

A squelched supple grass,
With a touch of green ardour,
Restored and revived.

Stooped in stark torments,
Trampled with numerous feet,
Raised like the proudest.


This Haiku is shared with Haiku Heights and the prompt was Grass.

  3. You have nailed it. These are lovely.

    I invite the other more well-versed haiku poets here to correct me if this is incorrect. A published poet once told me that, traditionally, haiku lines don't end with punctuation and their first words aren't capitalized unless a proper name. I have no idea if that is truly the convention, but it's one I adopted after his feedback.

  4. Oh I agree with Patti.. the haiku nailed but the punctuation and casing wise, she'd be right I think. The only punctuation I've seen in a haiku is a kireji, which can be at the end of any one line, or middle of the second, usually a semicolon or a hyphen. :)
