Haiku poems are a short form of Japanese poetry consisting of nature-related and vibrant imagery. It is typically written with three lines and 17 syllables (5-7-5 syllable count) in English. However, in Japan they do not use syllable counts, rather sounds. So, haikus do not need to adhere to this traditional English structure. A complete definition of haiku poems.

Show then Tell Haiku
the yard’s yellowed grass
meanwhile under the shade trees. . .
vibrant wild flowers
The grass has gone dead
but in the places with shade
are pretty flowers

To Sin Prevents Need More Hintswhen we were intense
we had been living in tents
with all their extents
having high expense
with huge head that became dense
not making much sense

from sinning which way prevents
