Along it's path, courses
Cuts through stone and us alike
Time waits for no man
A man late for his usual mass
Worried where he might end up in the last
Well he shrugged and he said,
As he crashed into bed
Sleep is just too good to pass
Writing these, I found that it was actually easier to write a haiku than a limerick. The strict rules on syllables force me to think more creatively in the content, to really play with the words to find the right composition to fill the syllables and the meaning alike. Meanwhile, the adherence to a rhyme scheme is something I struggle to apply whilst writing a limerick, a similar challenge, but harder to fulfill. In the time it took me to write a single Limerick, I had written a handful of different haiku.
A cool wind blows east
Speeding the change of seasons
Winter is coming
A leaf on the wind
Carried along 'cross the ages
Watch how it can soar
