At first what I wrote was rhyme, not haiku at all...but I thought it was haiku. I liked my first attempt. However, after reading up a little about the form, I try to adhere to certain traditions, but again, a novice makes all kinds of blunders. So excuse me if what I'm passing off as Haiku might not quite fit the bill. That is why I call these my Haiku Shots.
My first 'haiku' was actually a set. Each haiku fitted the basic 5-7-5 syllable pattern. I sought inspiration from my travels, and the title gives you a notion of the place which sparked the idea for my haiku. If curiosity gets the better of you, and you want to see the actual posts of these places, just click on the title.
Caverns echo loud
Immortals' celestial tales
Thrilling, tragic, tense!
Elixirs of Life,
legends and myths abiding
in spectral rivers.
Battling dragons' fire
Tales of victories sublime
Fantasies live on...
