I wrote a Haiku!!!!

www.sugabellyrocks.com

Well my Haiku is technically a Senryu since it's not about the seasons.

Also, my haiku just so happens to be in Igbo... it still counts right?

My little poem conforms to haiku rules because it is 17 on long, first line is 5 on, second line 7 on, and the last line is 5 on.

(On = syllable)

Yay, here it is:

Nwunye na Nuno

Di teta ila mili

Onwu ga fa so

Breakdown:

Nwu/nye/na/nu/no - 5 on

Di/ te/ta/i/la/mi/li - 7 on

O/nwu/ga/fa/so - 5 on

Translation:

Wife and her lover

Husband wakes to get a drink (water)

Death follows soon

Yay!! I feel so proud of myself and my little Senryu!!! :D
