NaPoWriMo Day 17: Haiku

Today is National Haiku Day -  I personally like Haiku it's a challenge to say a lot with just a few words.

Haiku are short poems that use sensory language to capture a feeling or image. They are often inspired by an element of nature, a moment of beauty or a poignant experience. Haiku poetry was originally developed by Japanese poets, and the form was adapted to English and other languages by poets in other countries.  They are composed of stanzas of three unrhymed lines of five, seven and five syllables. 


A memory came 
just a whisper of a thought
like a gentle breeze

The thought was of you
but it faded so quickly
like losing a dream
