Ok, I wrote these in English, 'coz we are studying a few different forms of poetry for a portfolio of poetry we have to submitt (yay! Sounds fun,   )

oh, yeah, they have no names.. but they really are quite unrelated to each other..

Dancing on blue stage
A piruette in soft breath
Autumn in the trees.

(How do u spell piruette?! ie ballet)


Swiss cheese sand
Winces as little fingers
Block shellfish breaths.


Exploring fingers
Pudgy in the gritty sand
Find rubbish treasures.

“One word can be magical. Imagine then, the effect of several words, together..”

Heh, I agree, you are cute.  
These haikus weren't written in the 5-7-5 format that I'm used to, however if you were studying the format then I won't question you, but I'll ask - is there something I'm not aware of here?

Well enough of that, these were all really well done.  I like the second one best.
Keep up the good work, Yu Lan

Thanks Allan..   Yes, the second one is not actually a traditional haiku, it's more like what my English teacher was lookng for, as in a short line, a longer line, a short line, with not so much emphasis on the syllables.. but no, hehe, haiku is still 5-7-5, I didn't change the formatt. ^_^
