Haiku

I've known the existence of haiku for long, but it's not until recently that I understand its rules. Now that I am familiar with it, I'm experimenting on my own haiku.

The thing with haiku is that instead of rhymes, it has 5-7-5 rule. The numbers stand for the number of syllables in each line, three lines for each haiku. The theme is (usually, I guess) the Mother Nature, though I'm not sure how strict this last rule is.

I've tried writing five haiku. They're open for interpretation, but each holds a special meaning for me. Now, since showing them all at once would not be interesting, I will publish one each day starting from the next one.
