Haiku
Fortune is finding,
a better life for myself,
The wind blows strong
The sun on my face
Holds the secrets of the world
Death is but a dream
a better life for myself,
The wind blows strong
The sun on my face
Holds the secrets of the world
Death is but a dream

Some things simply don't make sense....
Find a skilful task.
(Lines 1 and 3 should still make sense together, even with the omission of line 2, although it adds balance, elaboration and substance to the Haiku....)

More practice the easier,
Satori arrives!
Sorry if it's not correct! My first try
peace
smooth tranquil surface.
Mister Haiku, jump in! Splash splash!
golden arches
I'll have fries and a shake
Our slumber spans the eons
Not ready for birth
Nature awakens
Drop by drop.

Sky is loving womb
We slumber spanning eons
Awaiting our birth
I mean that we humans are 'unfinished'; mother earth is not done with us; with gestating us; and someday we'll emerge; enlightened.
Pain in my leg,
Am I sitting zazen
Or hatching an egg?
Are you going to grunt, scream, say
The egg arrives safe
old hen house stocked with wisdom
eggs top quality
Are but just a distraction;
Keeping still you know.
My first try... not really sure how to write haikus
It turned this way and that way
And now I am here.
(Okay, I think this is technically a haiku but in terms of poetic depth there’s room for improvement, I'm sure.)
