Haiku, tanka, etc

I have dabbled with haiku and tanka in finnish. It is fairly easy to make it work. So I decided to try it in english. Not so easy at all. First of all the rules are kind of different. I leanerd that there can be ones that have only one word! Smallest one I think has something like four letters?!? So anyway. I tried. I am not as happy as I would be with finnish ones. I also did some that didn't follow the rule of 17 syllables (well haiku in english it is said that it is up to 17). But hey most of the english ones doesn't either so, I'm okey.

One thing is for sure. I will never, ever be a poet. :))

So anyway here are some of the things that I tried out. The point being that I tried to follow the rule of 17, so the content might be a bit of shit.

Sun is
shining
today

(haiku by letter)

Sun and
rainbow
for me

(haiku by letter)

Birds fly
high above
cloud moves

(not sure if this is anything, but I think it might be considered as Haiku in english)

To not be yourself
water runs over no-one
not to say nothing

(haiku with 17 syllables I think. I am not that good at counting syllables in english)

Chance to change something
travel to the world unseen
wake up it's all dream

(not sure if "it's" is counted as one or two. I think it is one when it is like that. Also haiku)

Unseen travels worlds
the dreams kept alive by hope
logic behind all

(also if haiku if counted correctly)

To give up travel
cut birds wings
it can fly no more

(this was luna if I remember correctly. That's 5-3-5)

Sun wakes up nature
darkness hides from you and me
still ever present
always close by to catch us
if we leave the path of joy

(this would be tanka. Yes I know that it is not supposed to be that continuos but as I said I'll never be a poet ;) )

logic logic logic
always
funnybone missing

(I had almost fallen asleep when I though of this, so I had to share it)
