A poem I made!

[zerogrqvity]

So, I made a poem! It's a haiku poem! Meaning that there is 5 syllables on top, 7 in the middle, and 5 on the bottom! This is my poem, I actually made two! Here's the one I made for Japan.
そこに桜
行くのに素晴らしい場所
美しい日本
Translation:
Cherry Blossoms there
A wonderful place to go
Beautiful Japan

[Corinnebelle]

Nice! I love poems! Never really understood how to make a haiku.

[Dana_Dany Danuta]

I'm not learning Japanese, but maybe I'll try soon.
I also love poetry
... my polish haiku example:

• zachodnie niebo
  czerwienią zabarwione
  maki na łące

translated into English:

• western sky
  red colored
  poppies in the meadow

[Steve579062]

Ukraine is far away
I will visit again
If I am alive

Never done a Japanese haiku before. Hopefully for all concerned that attempt will be my last.

For me, poetry is a very dangerous past time. I cannot stop when I start. It takes over my life.

Black silicon eye
Thoughtful or cold clockwork?
The crow watches me

Satiny feathers
Crimson velvety plummage
Soft as eiderdown

[Corinnebelle]

Say it's a blue jay!
What a noise he makes taking
Walnuts in the fray.

Is it allowed to rhyme?

@zerogrqvity Yours has a sense of nostalgia. @Jacko079 Got the idea for mine from yours.

[Meli578588]

Absolutely, beautiful everyone !

Love the added picture @Jacko079!

Poem to the Portuguese explorers

Oh salty sea, how much of your salt
Are Portugal's tears!
For crossing you, how many mothers wept
How many sons prayed in vain!
For you to be ours, oh sea!

そこに桜
soko ni sakura (6 syllables)
行くのに素晴らしい場所
iku no ni subarashii basho (11 syllables)
美しい日本
utsukushii nihon (7 or 8 syllables)

not exactly 5-7-5 format, my friend.

桜咲く
sakura saku (5 syllables)
行っていい場所で
itte ii basho de (7 or 8 syllables)
よき日本
yoki nihon (4 or 5 syllables)

this is more like it, and I didn't change the meaning at all.

ah, for those who want to make haikus in Japanese, feel free to ask. I'll help revise.
