Haiku is a form of poetry, originating from Japan. It consists of 3 parts in a line, made of 5,7 and 5 phonetic sounds respectively. For the english version, writers generally make the 3 parts as 3 lines and the sounds as words. Also, in a traditional Haiku, the first 2 lines must be independent of each, and the last line will contain the answer or the subject which is described in the first two.
Here are my first few..
1.
Caste, Religion, Language no Bar,
A Billion voices blending, Patriotism soaring high,
And India wins the game.
2.
Wishing, the scars vanish away,
Convinced, none other could be so beautiful,
Mirror speaks, The Seer Listens.
3.
Temptation, to shut the eyes,
Guilt, if more I did not cram,
Exam on the following day.
And finally,
4.
I tried in utter vain,
It vanished before I could savour it,
Anger On A Loved One.

thank you kushi, now I do not know what to say..
Every time you find some wonderful quote.. thank you very much :)
sorry for nitpicking but your definition of a haiku does not really match your writing. You know a talented guy like you must not try to tie your free flow of thought into categorizations. that kills flow of thought. i have always felt that though haikus are terribly clever things, they are extremely restrictive and the writer ends up writing something to fit into the rules rather than something that is beautiful.
your thoughts are wonderful.
there was some idiot who went and said that a poem is "not a place for an idea". i have always trashed that opinion and have been finding that i am right so many times. especially when reading what you have here :) keep going!!
