leaves slip under foot

Haiku - A Definition
Haiku is a minimalist form of poetry. The writer has 17 or fewer syllables through which to convey an experience. Here's an example of one of my published haiku. It has 11 syllables.

Haiku #1
I take my inspiration anywhere I can find it these days. This picture captured by my Twitter friend @HappiForever inspired me to write the following: 
blazing leaf beauty ~ snapped up and kept; memory ~ to heat your future
Dev guys always make the strangest photochop requests...
Futurama, bacon, Optimus Prime, and a haiku:
A Little Haiku
I have long been reading & enjoying the haiku I see on Twitter & have followed several excellent people because of the poems. Recently I started trying my had at a few & even tweeted a few. However I didn't tag them (I'm super shy about my writing....and haiku is a very hard form for me so I am bashful about sharing) but a couple friends encouraged me to find the ones I'd written & I've gathered them here.
green lit with crimson sparks/smokeless fire creeps through forests/summer's fiery demise
Patchy blue skies and / light not filtered through grey wool / clouds; a little hope...
Clouds layering day / night lingers in the shadows / where autumn will sleep. (http://pic.gd/381c09)
Blue and orange flames / cricket songs lingering soft/ stars say their good night (http://pic.gd/781818)
Fog slithers between / tamarack trees standing guard / over blazing orange West
Bright autumn sunlight / small ripples of great river /dappled paths in peace (see http://nil17.com/2009/09/untitled-37/ for the picture that goes with this one)
snow feathers the grass ~ green in the late autumn swirl ~ wishswept branches dance (this was popular (?) on Twitter...I used it in the #makeupaword game.)
