@Dutchy,
A real friend in need
Is like a gift from heaven,
An angel on earth

@firefly,
An angel on earth
Her name is firefly
One in a thousand.

@Dutchy,
One in a thousand
From land unknown
Floats on gossamer wings

@vonny,
On gossamer wings
in diaphanous raiment
seraphs glide on air

Good to see you too, firefly! Smile

@devriesj,
seraphs glide on air
soft perfumed breeze
into silvered clouds

@vonny,
Into silvered clouds
the rains are disappearing.
The sun shines behind.

@devriesj,
The sun shines behind.
The ladies are lining up,
wishing me good health.

@Dutchy,
vonny, you're new to this game, so let me help--the first line of the Haiku has 5 syllables, the second line has 7 syllables, and the third line has 5 syllables.


Wishing me good health,
On my one hundredth birthday,
My friends gave loud cheers

@firefly,
My friends gave loud cheers.
I am sitting in the sun,
the birds are tweeting.

The birds are tweeting,
The sun shines over the earth.
Welcome home, Dutchy!

Now we can relax

@firefly,
Now we can relax
In the certain knowledge that
All's well with the world.

@Lustig Andrei,
All's well with the world,
At least it is for today,
Who knows what will come

@firefly,
Who knows what will come
in the junk mail? Perhaps a
coupon for bad food.

@ossobuco,
Coupon for bad food
At least saved you some money,
Look on the bright side

@firefly,
Look on the bright side
When considering your day.
You're still breathing, right?

@vonny,
vonny, the first line of the Haiku has to have 5 syllables, the second line has to have 7 syllables, and the third line has to have 5 syllables. Wink

I'm going to have to use your second line as my first because that one has 5 syllables.

Enjoy each sweet breath
Of the bracing ocean air,
As you search for shells

@firefly,
thanks ff, I'm new to this! Embarrassed

As you search for shells
Look west and look to the east,
As gulls circle overhead

@vonny,
You're getting there, vonny, but not quite. Laughing

Should have 5 syllables--As you search for shells--5
Should have 7 syllables--Look west and look to the east,--7
Should have 5 syllables--As gulls circle overhead--This line has 7

Give it another try. Smile
