Delicate steam rising, blending into pre dawn thought

Heat beacon

Tea

Eat the turkey bacon

Too much mint tea.

Quiet dawn moment
Setting moon shares the pale sky
Reflects sun in tea

Dark room in winter

Hot tea to keep me warm

Forgot to pay the electric bill

Thank you, @Noel7

I wasn't doing it on purpose. I was making a cup of tea very early this morning and the words just came, so I thought I might as well share them.

In fact, I don't believe it fits into the prescribed haiku format. It was too early to actually craft anything. But the rising steam seemed to need honoring, somehow.

Steam to breathe in

Tea to nourish

Cup to warm hands and give us beauty

It does fit @GingerPeach

If I remember correctly, it's 17 syllables and three lines.

Thank you @GingerPeach I haven't done one in years. Fun, what a nice idea of yours, to start a line like this

@Lyttlewyng has it right...5/7/5 syllables...I love this thread

"Well, yes and no. In Japanese, yes, haiku is indeed traditionally 5-7-5. But 5-7-5 what? In English and other languages, haiku has mistakenly been taught as having 5-7-5 syllables, but that's not really accurate."

Why “No 5-7-5”? - NaHaiWriMo
