Islamic Haikus

[Na7lah]

Anyone heard of Haikus? A form of Japanese short poetry, has a few rules:

3-short lines
1-season word (can be subtle)
1-cutting word (a break in the 2nd or 3rd line - a pause, hyphen, dash, exclamation etc).
no rhyme or metaphor
17 syllables - (5-7-5)

Some rules of Haiku are broken in modern usage but the 3 lines and 17 syllables (in 5-7-5 form) cannot be broken.

Example:

I love Al-Ameen
He was the last messenger
Teaching us our Deen

-By me

Give it a try...though try to keep it islamic hope this works out

 

[Mr. Baldy]

wow this should be fun... I'm no good at haikus though!

 

[------]

Always trust Allaah
He will remove the darkness
And show you the light

 

[------]

Sacrifice for God
A reward is hidden there
Patience is the key

 

[------]

Can we just stick to th 5-7-5 and no other rule? :-[

A deep aching pain
losing your imaan for sin
Because you're a fish
