Haiku

testing a haiku
the AI keeps on blocking
my rhyming sonnet

the rhyming haiku
for those having not a clue
between me and you

If life's a haiku
Mt. Fuji's in the background.
Did you stop to look?

cherry themed haikus
so many on the subject
blossom covered street

this haiku defends
rhymes against humanity
poet samurai

haikus cannot rhyme
except by accident
slowing down to watch

wick burning
wax melting away
the soul leaves no ashes
