Hey, I made a site just for writing haikus and sharing them. It would be perfect for this, since it even counts the syllables for the users. http://my-ku.com.

A Vision in Pink and White
April brings a sprite
Cheery cherry blooms again
Look quick or miss her
An Orb of Oppression
Pointed and prickly
Nemesis of this author
Thy name is sweetgum

broccoli seedling:
twin green fans
catch what falls from the sky
sun, rain – my shadow
garden math:
1 zucchini
produces 2 fruits each day -
why did I plant 3?

SIXTY SECONDS
A minute is a
minute, so why are some days
short and others long?

Far suns spiral so
fast they barely move across
the face of nothing

HUMMING
