Haiku
According to the Wikipedia a Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry consisting of three lines. The structure typically follows a syllable pattern of 5 syllables in the first line, 7 syllables in the second line, and 5 syllables in the third line (5-7-5). Haikus often focus on nature, seasons, or moments of beauty, and they usually include a "kigo" (seasonal word) and a "kireji" (cutting word), though these elements are more common in the original Japanese form. The goal is to capture a fleeting moment or evoke a deep feeling in a simple, concise way. Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

Silent Music

Lithe grace in motion
Unseen she dances alone
Silence surrounds her
