Hi you, here's a Haiku

In Copywriting, for one of our earlier assignments, we were given a brief in which we had to come up with 3 Haiku's, each one dealing with a different theme. For those of you who don't know what a Haiku is, the traditional defintion is a 17 syllable, Japanese poem, and they were usually about nature. It would usually consist of 3 lines, with 5 syllables in the first and last line, and 7 in the middle. There is a whole lot more stuff about it, but here are the final 3 that I handed in.
  • Nature:


A stone is tossed in
Ripples dance around the pond,

Happiness is here

  • Religious:


Alone in darkness,
The Hand of Love comforts me

Shelter is at hand

  • Tools/appliances:


Only to be held
By artists of Percussion,

Wooden masterpiece
