The main one that you'll see on the internet is 5-7-5. There are other rules (see link above), but not set in stone. Beyond that...it's gotta be fun. If poetry ain't fun...you're not doing it right

i must be slow now
haiku does not make sense for
my little brain hurts

 

[tonksy]

my toe, it does hurt,
the one that went to market,
it has a big cut.

 

[BeardofPants]

I wonder where they
are - my pretty little pants?
I fear I have none.

 

[tonksy]

my rear is chilly,
it weathers the elements,
darn that Beard of Pants!

 

[BeardofPants]

 

[kuulani]

darn that beard of pants
she who steals the pants off me
i am now pants-less

 

[kuulani]

off topic central
making me think of haikus
counting syllables

 

[kuulani]

should go back to work
instead of playing around
can't, i'm addicted

 

[kuulani]

this is my last one
that's my promise to you all
leaving this thread now

Green the grass flows by
the river where my heart sailed
Stained, bruised and soaring.

 

[MrBishop]

The Witness
The bell rings
God’s love in new shoes
none for me.

Autumn
Dancing leaf
Red spinning joyful
lead my heart

Winter
My tongue out
some flakes find rest there
taste winter

Spring
Green buds bloom
sea of life brings waves
wash my soul


Summer
Yellow globe
heat the ground below
thirsty men

Aren't you just amazed
at how much someone can say
in three lines of space?

Hormel buys Seuss' rights.
Revised children's book hits stores:
"Eat Green Eggs and SPAM."

Do SPAMs reproduce?
Not unless you wash off the
Spamicidal gel.

SPAM is big in Greece.
With filo dough, feta, for
Spamakopita.

Italy loves SPAM.
They make a drink with it called
"Asti Spamati."

Spock takes a small piece.
It's elastic, rubbery.
It is vulcanized.

Pat Benatar fell.
The stage was too slippery
From her spamdex suit.

Jack wants to father.
But why eat so much SPAM, Jack?
"My spam count is low."

 

[Spirit]

my kids are my life
they make my heart light with joy
and frustrated, too.

 

[SouthernN'Proud]

We fought them bravely,
Our heritage now suffers
For reasons unknown.

Nice one, SnP
