I love writing Haikus. My best friend taught me how to write them. He said ' It's not that hard. All you have to do is learn.' So I did and I fell in love with them. Here's my first Haiku:

Clear like Crystals
It is clear, you know
that what some don't know, we do
albeit, they will.

Oh, that's okay, if that's what happened.

I come and I go
this life is all my own now
I am freely me.

Why did I agree?
Now my life is in shambles.
How will I pull through.

Hello y'all!

Now this is my very first attempt at a haiku. I'd like to get comments on it, if possible. Sorry if the syllables limit hasn't been respected.

~thank you Murasaki9 for the invitation to post here ~

Urban Life
I see the buildings appear
They grow fast, non-stop in here
City life, concrete world

_____________

To be honest, I've used a syllable counter to check if the syllables were okay...

The meaning is pretty solid, to me the story seems to zone onto somebody who lives in an agricultral community, and then for some unknown reason is brought into a city; only to be disappointed by the whole greyscale blankness of it.
I really doubt anyone else sees it that way, but oh well.

In the first line, the syllable check is off (7 instead of 5), the second line is fine and in the third off by one syllable (6)

Its a good start for a first haiku, alot better than my first.

Oh, thanks! That was a great description of the meaning. Even I haven't seen it like that.

Oh, I thought it was off. I used a syllable counter to check the words, but I actually thought it was wrong.

Do you have any tips of counting syllables?

Oh wow, thank you!

Hm... I'd like if people suggested me themes for the haikus.

And once posts without haikus aren't supposed to be here, lemme see one...

A Happy Day!

Happy birthday man
may happiness always follow
your steps, through all tasks!

Inspired by the fact that today is the birthday of a friend of mine.

Comments, please?

Ah, and sorry if the syllable count is wrong again.

Well happy birthday to your friend!
Syllable-wise, its ok, except for the 2nd line, where you have 8 syllables instead of 7.

The cool part about poetry is that it can really be about anything. However, regarding haikus, they tend to focus more on nature. Keep that in mind, and always look around outside for inspiration.
Just a tip, but keep up the good work!

Sry for DP but no one has posted today, so i will!
It was actually last night when i thought of this haiku, im always open to constructive criticism, dont just say 'you suck' 'cuz I already know that!
Pond
A lake in late June;
Its surface reflects the sky
And her azure bliss

(I tried to add some good techniques of writing poetry, like alliteration in the first line, but alas, its hard to fit stuff like that into a haiku because of the limited space.)
