I was required to compose a haiku about myself and so, being the overachiever that I am, I wrote 8 of them. Seven are below because I submitted the 8th one for something and I’m not sure if I am allowed/should post that here. Enjoy!
Quick smile, easy laugh
Quiet beneath, watchful eyes
Open, but still closed
Idealist girl
Cautiously dreaming woman
Create this writer
Little gentian
Eager to bloom in this place
Bud slowly unfurls
Borderline crazy
Eager to change the system
Full of good intent
All about the sex
But wanting hands held tight more
Die hard romantic
Quick smile, easy laugh
Quiet beneath, watchful eyes
Stories fill her mind
Catt butts, hockey butts
Passionate about writing
Central New York bitch
Little Gentian 
The first one is good!

Thank you! That was actually the first one that I wrote. I like the structure and constraint of haikus, they require you to be precise and concise while still making your point.

Yes I am very impressed by the form too. We studied it in Graduation and I remember being so caught up in the classics

There is something about the classics, the structure, the care, the counting of syllables and up and down beats, and the symbolism. I don’t dabble much in poetry and I read even less, but I need to fix that because the imagery and emotion that is packed into so few words can be breathtaking. I inherited some books of poetry that I have been meaning to read, but there never seems to be time and I become frustrated so easily trying to decipher what is going on. I really like Franki Elliot’s typewriter stories.
