Another Haiku
This one is inspired by the weather we are currently experiencing where I live.
World on its head -
Summer sun during autumn;
Nature will rectify.

Orchid Haiku, 3 for 2.
Another day, another Haiku but as it's the weekend and the official start of my OU course, I have written two on a theme, and one of those has two derivations. I hope that makes sense, and more importantly, I hope that you like them:
Beautiful Orchid;
Ever striving towards the sun -
Failure spells death.
Beautiful Orchid;
Ever striving towards the sun -
Failure means death.
And the other one:
Orchid Flowering;
Reaching out to taste the sun -
Engorged it thrives.

From the gym
As the title suggests, this Haiku is inspired by my trip to the gym. Just a bit of fun, but as always would appreciate any constructive criticism!
Ode to gym bunnies;
Bodies built like warrior queens -
Intimidating!

Haiku inspired by Gaming
Hey all,
As the title suggests, I have been fooling about with this Haiku that came to my mind whilst playing a computer game. It's just a bit of fun regardless of the theme and I certainly don't mean to cause anyone any offence!
Death, it's the end;
Game over - Please insert coin:
Reset, reload, relive.

New Haiku
A post on facebook suddenly inspired me to write a Haiku. The post was asking for help understanding what to write for a Haiku, and that gave me this idea:
My understanding;
I do not have the foggiest -
This is normal.
It's funny how inspiration strikes at the oddest of moments! (And the most ironical too!)

New to Haiku!
OK, here goes nothing!
Cherry tree blossoms
Gently falling; petals like snow -
A princess cries.
The alternative wording to this that I have been toying with and am unsure which looks better is:
Cherry blossom
Gently falling; petals like snow -
A princess crying.
Which one do you prefer? I think that they both deliver the same message, but I am unsure which I prefer.. Am happy to receive peoples thoughts and views. As the title suggests, I am new at this so any constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.
