Haiku, anyone?

Inhale the daylight.
Speak the language of the sun.
Let energy from stars sustain you.
Open your leaves to their light.
Breathe these ancient gods.

[Gawain_VIII]

Smoke Break

A proper haiku is more than just a 3-line poem divided into 5-7-5 syllables. The Japanese art form actually has several requirements:
1) The number of syllables (actually 'moras', which are equivelant to, but not the same as, a syllable) is only the first.
2) A proper haiku should also contain a seasonal reference (kigo),
3) and a cutting word (kireji) which gives more depth to the work and accents an emotional spark.
4) Lastly, a true haiku is supposed to compare two dissimilar things.

My submission: SMOKE BREAK

Inhale, long deep breaths.
Sitting on the new-born grass
contemplating God.

[Dryadalisk]

Calming me, such gental snow
