Haiku Collection

by
Rakan Algatani

This is a collection of my best Haiku poems that I wrote in class. Most of my haiku poems represent nature and romance as my significant themes of my Haiku poems. When write Haiku I feel the need to write about nature, space, and romantic relationships as they represent literature for me. In the class of Haiku I have learned to be more creative in my imagination and to make sure that my poems has the best vocabulary possible to describe the moments that I am feeling. As the class comes to an end, I started to see the improvements in the way I think and write Haiku poems. The Haiku learning process has given me the chance to be more creative with an even bigger imagination.

stormy weather
of words
between two planets

Chicago winter
a homeless person
battles the wind

ready or not,
time is unstoppable
train

with the calmness
of the moon
sleep a good night

cherry blossom
cherry lips
I am in love

siren
blue and red
inside the foggy road

I talk to the puppy
an attempt to
swallow my sorrow

under bright moon
I see her beauty clearly
my love bright as the moon

coffee and tea
with my family
an Arabian night

a falcon searching above
the Arabian Peninsula
the lost history of Arabs

the smell of our house
still exists
in my mind
