Haiku definition - Haiku is a Japanese poetry form. A haiku uses just a few words to capture a moment and create a picture in the reader's mind. It is like a tiny window into a scene much larger than itself.
Traditionally, haiku is written in three lines, with five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line.
Author's Note - This is a project for my college Creative Writing Class so these poems may not be the greatest but hope you enjoy anyway. Am also trying to make each Haiku about one of my stories. Will tell each title of the story above its haikus. Any feedback is much appreciated! Thanks for reading.

Hero the Cat Cop Haiku's
Pacific Ocean
Waters flow by an Island
Known for its thick mist.
~
A bulletproof cat
licks his bloodsoaked paw
By his deputy.
~
A yellow ribbon
Blows through her long brunette hair
As she grabs her gun
~
The gray cat hisses
Displaying his metal claws
Before he attacks
~
Girl opens fire
Cat hisses and corrects her
Before death occurs
The Half-Alien Haiku's
Blue skin covers me
Making me an outsider
Forever Alone
~
Finally a friend
Stay forever mine
You are all I need.
Best Enemies
Are you friend or foe
You bully me then hug me
How am I to know?
~
Blonde hair and blue eyes
She is beautiful and young
Yet sickness plagues her.
~
Brown curly-Q hair
I hate washing and brushing
This big thankless mess.
