clouds passing overhead
beneath a flower pot
the spider vanishesa little spider crawled out from under a flower pot on the deck one morning. as the shadow of the clouds pass by overhead he ran back beneath the flower pot. surely a giant was walking by.
Haiku is one of the most important forms of traditional japanese poetry. Literally means "starting verse", and was the first starting link of a much longer chain of verses known as haika. Because the haiku set the tone for the rest of the poetic chain, it enjoyed a privileged position in haiku poetry, and it was not uncommon for a poet to compose a haiku by itself without following up with the rest of the chain.
