Haiku

Since I haven't been writing much poetry this year due my other goals, I have found poetry-writing-solace in Haiku. If you haven't written haiku before, it's simple to learn and you may find that the constraint frees your imagination (seems counter intuitive, but constraint-based writing creates incredibly productive writers).

A haiku is THREE LINES that look like this:

LINE 1: FIVE SYLLABLES
LINE 2: SEVEN SYLLABLES
LINE 3: FIVE SYLLABLES

Here is a HAIKU a wrote this morning -- 

Middle sexed finger
Diamonds forever glimmer
In your ivory bones
