ich schrieb einen Brief
ein Sturm trug die Seiten fort
aber etwas bleibt
- von Maria
This poetry form called "Haiku" consists of 3 lines, the first line has 5 syllables, the second 7, the third line has 5 syllables again.
A Haiku-poem tries to be simple and precise like a Zen painting. It describes situations, not emotions. The emotions are present within the reader when reading the poem, because there is room for him or her to create his or her own images, sentiments and connections.
A Haiku usually makes a reference to nature (seasons, weather, animals) and is often written in the present tense.

the door stands ajar
