自由律 999
The body must follow the spirit.
The spirit must follow the season.
The freeman follows the love reason.
If not a haiku,
with syllables five seven five,
yet, a forum game
何が残っていますか?
Set yourself for death.
Skills, stuff, and all relations.
Honour is what`s left.

Garden waterfall,
girls kissing in the rainbow,
summer is calling.

amok: you need to learn, now
the structure of haiku
this is incorrect

Accatone: no, it is not
haiku poems don't have to use
a 5-7-5 syllable pattern or even 3 lines
do you also ask seasonal words too?

also, technically, without seasonal words,
what you most write
is a senryu not a haiku

5-7-5 pattern is a popular misconception
don't force anyone who don't use it

read about haiku first
Japanese have not
syllablles- they are western
instead they have On

This make translation
difficult, even the system
so we really can not

However, classic
Haiku use seventeen On
within single verse

This is in standard
five, seven, five split we know
broken by Kiraj word

Kiraj end speech
The west use punctuation
different concept

You do have poems
with different patterns, yes
but they are modern

A free form haiku
is now called jiyuritsu
fixed form is teikei

Yes, most use seasons
but they are very symbolic
word "frog" can mean spring

The haiku also, presented in one clean line, unbroken and pure

edit:
Swapped the order. Fixed up some grammar errors. Scans a bit better.

Heat beats down on me,
moving seems unbearable;
it must be summer.
Hotter than Hades,
sweat-soaked dripping wet clothing,
In my dreams, Winter

Snowfall - how peaceful
It is to see everything
In white - steamy breath.
The sound of sleigh bells,
The gentle free fall of snow,
The peace, it's perfect.

The peace, it's perfect.
Gentle fall of snow
The gentle free fall of snow
cool picture fresh breeze
Yearning frozen heart.
The soul still battered and torn.
Sun, burn me away!

MightyFloTheKing: Yearning frozen heart.
The soul still battered and torn.
Sun, burn me away!
what a beautiful
and direct way to say, fine!
I am more than this!
Warm dusk of Summer,
Cicadas chanting from trees,
My mind knows stillness
Ice cream in the sun
melts faster than I can eat.
It's still delicious.
