Haiku. Words. Story

I can't remember the last time I wrote a haiku. It's been way too long. Haiku may look like a simple form of poetry but it's actually difficult to write. Telling a story in a 5 7 5 format isn't as ordinary as it looks.

I have three here. Take a look and tell me what you think.

I enter a cave
I see death staring at me
I then strangle it

---

“Say you're mine,” he pants
I gasp as I grab the sheets
“I'm yours,” I whimper

---

Under the dark clouds
We dance for our forefathers
And offer prayers
