I have been playing in twitter a lot recently, as I can practice reading and typing hiragana on my smart phone, something I can't do on my PC (well, the typing part anyway). Last night I decided to try my hand at a haiku using hiragana. I have no idea why I decided to do it, but I did. This is what I came up with:
ふなっしー
きいろいなしは
あいらしい
きいろいなしは
あいらしい
funassyi
kiiroi nashi wa
airashii
kiiroi nashi wa
airashii
The English translation is not as "romantic" sounding and doesn't work within the rules for haiku, but I have included it here for those that don't read/speak Japanese.
funassyi
yellow pear
captivating
yellow pear
captivating
It isn't a very good haiku, but it is my very first attempt, so I am content with it. I might try to make better ones later on.
