Question: I'm trying to write a haiku!? Likely!?
Fall of pretty leaves
The earth's face covered with gold
Soon reign by the snow

Longest day of heat
Reflected in a boy's face
of girls of summerWww@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
BEAUTIFUL!. i love the images you bring to my mind!. but if the first paragraph is about fall and winter, why is the second one about heat!? i'm not saying change it, because both sections are very, very beautiful and i love them, but maybe you need something in between to suggest the shifting of seasons!. i ADORE the line "reflected in a boys face" it is absolutely beautiful, but the last line kind of kills it!. i don't know what you are trying to say, it doesn't make much sense to me!. work on the last line!. the line before it is setting you up for an emotionally powerful ending!.

also!.!.!.!.maybe you could have a paragraph BEFORE the first one, just to set up the readers for what the poem is about!.

finally, can you PLEASE keep in touch with me, i wanna see the final result of this poem!Www@QuestionHome@Com

yes this fulfills the rules of Haiku , 3 unrhymed lines the first has 3 syllables the seconed 7syllables and the third again 3!.!.!.!.
and it presents a pair of contrasting images FALL or Winter(in the first paragraph) , Summer( in the second)!.!.!.!.!.!.!.so yes , you're Haiku is doing absolutely well
