Distant fields of flowers
Sing a song to me
Silent words upon my ears

They playfully share the breeze
And dance before me
So that they may send their scent.

To tickle my nostrils well,
So that I may smell
The song which I can not hear.

Alas, my sences awake,
A smile in my heart.
Silent words exist no more...

Hey AJ did I get this right....Is this Haiku?

Wisdom is just a word.
Knowing when to be wise is a power.
Understanding when to share wisdom is a gift.

Well, it's not traditional Haiku. But it's great! I like it. Some people find the format too confining or dull. You should try Tanka. You get two extra lines of 7 syllables each! Check out Cinquains. Those are 5 lines of 2,4,6,8,then 2 syllables. Look around and challenge yourself!
