Writing Haiku

I remember spring
Life waiting to be tasted,
Autumn came so soon!
This is a haiku I wrote a couple of years ago, one that has been posted with my painting at Innographx forum. My friend, Bev Langby, sent me a beautiful haiku she had written this week and got me thinking about them again.
Writing any kind of poetry is good for the brain cells as well as for the spirit. Remember how it's done? Haiku poems are usually about nature, don't rhyme, and have 17 syllables in 3 lines of 5, 7, & 5. In keeping with the brevity of haiku, I'll keep this post brief, but I thought you might like to try your hand again (or for the first time) at creating a haiku.

Here's Bev's haiku:
Butterflies flying
Birds singing all around me
Makes life joyfull free......
