The Whole of Two Haikus

#1
Grey winter sky hid
the sun and stars and glory
But now - it is spring!

#2
For the boy, the rain
fell; flowers bloomed; animals
sang; nature, too, smiled

Season

the change of season
turns hearts restless, expectant
though beauty awaits

August Sky

a clear august sky
day, it is bright and bluish
night, it is starry

Dandellion

now the flower blooms
a dandellion, that is
floating after him

Spring

the spring comes and goes
in front of my watching eyes
it seems I am late

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.
