The Climb...

"Unknown"

***

Climbing uphill
Weathered eroded jagged rocks,
Covered in dense colours!

*** 

Reaching the top
Beautiful landscape far beyond-
Fearing the slope.

  1. Well done. The first haiku is a feast of imagery and the break in the second one is aptly done. Great job.
    The only thing that can be modified is the rhyme in the second haiku, top and slope, because haiku is an un-rhymed short poem.
    Otherwise, you did it all right. :-)

    2. Hello Arushi,

      Thanks for taking it positively.
      I read Jane Reichhold's tips again. She writes three things about rhymes in haiku:
      1. Avoid rhymes.
      2. Use rhyming words at the end of first and third lines.
      3. Use rhymes elsewhere.

      Thus, I think that it is a matter of flexibility, of how one wants to go for it. I thought of sharing that with you. :-)
