While looking for examples of Haiku to use in our requests to our readers for Haiku of their own, we came across a number of…”interesting”…examples. Some serious. Some not so much. We present them for your enjoyment here with no particular (ahem!) rhyme or reason.

Over the wintry
Forest, winds howl in rage
With no leaves to blow.
–Natsume Sōseki
Florida Thunderstorm
Eternal, heavy
The god of glory thunders
During heavy rains

Birthday Haiku
For your birthday, friend,
I wrote this haiku for you.
