I enjoy reading haiku. And I enjoy writing them. Haiku is a short poem. Haiku originated in Japan and were composed of 17 sound units. People who write haiku in English write poems comprising 17 syllables.
If you write haiku regularly, you observe nature and beauty. And you also learn the economical use of words. You can write a haiku when you’re out walking your pet, or communing with nature. Haiku is a great exercise to be more aware and become a better writer. Here are some of my haiku.

rainy afternoon
chasing clouds and sand hill cranes
old friends who’ve just met
