5-7-5 Poetry 

A 5-7-5 follows the structure of a Haiku but without any limitation to the topic. While a Senryu, is primarily concerned with human nature. A Haiku, primarily concerned with physical nature. A 5-7-5 poem is a free form with the only limitation being the syllable count.

So have fun with the 5-7-5 poetry type. But it must follow the proper syllable count. A 5-7-5 poem has three lines. The first line has 5 syllables. The second line has 7 syllables. The third line has 5 syllables again.

Example
Don't eat yellow snow (5 syllables)
It's not healthy as you know (7 syllables)
Besides, it tastes bad! (5 syllables)

Life may not be fair
But the good Lord makes each day
Cherish everyday

Health is a dear friend
Always treat her with respect
She will act her best

Thinking about fragile life health

~ 23 April 

While days are still bright 
Live with great passion and love
As your life unfolds

Life always busy 
with a load of care and tear
Be cheerful always

Keep your life balanced
with many loved ones around
Treasure them as gems

*************************
When the dark nights come 
Time to be cherished and loved
While I still hang on

Dearly beloved
Come visit me while I'm here
I try to stay on 

Deep into the dark
I'll be brave and courageous

When God calls me home

*************************

Try not to be sad

When I am finally gone 

For my job is done

All my life I've been

Cherished, Loved and Courageous

Fight my battles well

My great pride and joy 

Is to be loved by you all

I bring that with me

*************************

As I homeward bound

Celebrate my life moments

Each cherished moments

I am truly glad 

To have lived a life that's full

As God's precious child

I be waiting there

At heaven's glorious shore

I will wait for you
