I wrote these haiku this morning. I name them by their sequential numbers.
These are being presented just for fun! Jill
First:
The word haiku is a Japanese loan word and in Japanese, nouns don't change depending on whether they're plural or singular.
Therefore, the plural of haiku is haiku. However, it is not uncommon to come across haikus as the plural form in English.
(Jill: Both seem accepted equally in English now, I think.)
Two:
Yes, I know the first line in the first haiku has 6 syllables, not 5, but that's considered acceptable and still called haiku in these "modern" times . . .

Haiku 79
The world wills what it may
And May wreathes the world with spring
Flowers blossoming
Haiku 80
The Haiku God smiles
Such a flowering of words
Oh, so many words
Haiku 81
The Haiku God smiles
but there is a twinge of pain.
Oh, some of those words!

This sequence of three are very conversant with one another while each stands on its own. Nice work, Jill!
