Consider our discussion of Western Haiku/Flowers of the Moment (Ko Un) and compose your own western haiku. No need to abide by 5/7/5. No need to identify season necessarily. Simply offer a brief meditation that examines a universal example of the human condition.

As the sun falls down--
A freezing wish
to hear the cicadas

Charging on impact
Spinning room a cloud like haze-
One, Two, Three, Don't blink.

Desks and chairs surround,
Books spinning in my head.
Blinded by the outside sun-
Eyes on the horizon.
Never wavering

Rusing to the platform,
People surrounding.
Get there-
Only to see that the train passed.

Our hearts are racing:
the field is a battleground
until victory.

Golden reds and yellows
with crisp air all around,
the cicadas no longer come.

The new year begins
Keeping our eyes on the prize
Not looking behind

Fluorescent lights
Break through the window:
Sunshine rays.

The sun shines through
The trees have a green glow
A shadow appears in the grass

The college essay -
How do I explain myself
In five hundred words?

The rain loves to fall:
Unknowing, impending doom;
Let us learn the same

The road is covered-
with a sea of color
leaves crunching
under my boot

Hidden -
It is easy to become
What you want to be.

Late nights and weary eyes,
Books and papers surrounding—
Will I survive?
