The Chorus of Dawn- Haiku Medley

World hushed in silence
          Birds unable to keep still…
             The chorus of dawn

                Melody of praise
     Chases the shroud of the night…
             Blessed hues of morn

           Dawn gives way to day
            The celebration of life…
               Is well under way

This is the form that I struggle with but you seem to have the hang of it.

Richard, I don't know if I have it down pat. I had some discussions with two Poetry Soupers about this form. Seems that there is more to it than this...I try to get the breakoff after the second line where the BAM is supposed to come it. I hope I've managed. I do stick to th 5-7-5 syllable rule so...yea...glad you liked it!
