Beacon In a Storm

light in darkness- reflects hidden dangers warning from afar ~*~ beacon in a storm warns mortal danger... guides lost to safety ~*~ Haiku can be 17 syllables or less. It does not always have to be 17 syllables exactly. If you don't need an extra syllable best not to include it if what you have written makes sense.

Enjoyed your Haiku, Annalise! And you are right about the syllable-count. It is also quite difficult if one writes in three languages so sometimes the syllables are different. Thank you for your kind comments and have a great week!...Hugs, Gert

Licked9 the one about "beacon is a storm better. "Mortal Danger" - I know what that means. 9 syllables 1 syllable 1 syllable is the entire form. It originated in Brooklyn, New York - whter I used to live. Yours Matthew Anish

It's cool how it looks as if the two haiku are reflecting each other too!! Good examples.
