Triptych Haiku:
Silence Stillness Spaciousness

moonlight glitters inside the empty house only silence
in stillness: the walls await the return of warm bodies
finding through lunar lit window spaciousness
I frequently do not adhere to the 5/7/5 three-line model of Haiku. I find that sometimes trying to add syllables takes away from the key principles of haiku. On the other hand, sometimes the challenge of a more orthodox form can open one’s creativity. I am not against the standard model but I also do not feel tied to it.
However, if someone has ideas on transforming these into the standard format and maintaining or improving on the feel of the haiku, I would love to see them.
