Another Door
A gray door that says "Open me." What is there here for all to see there? (I believe that I am getting the hang of writing haikus. Also, I think I got the syllable count for the whole haiku as well as each of lines. Please read and comment for it is really appreciated.)

Doors
A garden door opens to a garden of friends that grow up and down. (Here is another haiku about a particular door to a secret garden. I believe that I have the syllable count right for this one. Hope you like this one and please comment after you read this one.)

Babies
Full of wandering Plenty of hugs abound with Babies are family. (Here is another haiku. Again, I feel that maybe the word 'hugs' is either one or two syllables. 'Family' is two syllables to me. I divided 'fam/ily' like this making it two syllables or could be three 'fam/i/ly'. 'Wan/der/ing' like this giving three syllables. Please comment it will be greatly appreciated.)

Thunderstorm
Dark clouds are brewing Winds at high speeds now howling Thunderstorms to engage. (One last haiku for tonight. I think they are getting a little better, I hope. My inspiration for this one was I was hearing thunder outside as well as the dark, gray clouds and sky. Please comment if you want to.)

Rainbows
Rainbows of color all all red, yellow, orange, green, blue now after a rain. (I believe I described a basic rainbow. Also, I do believe I have the 5, 7, 5 pattern of a proper haiku. I had these ideas, and I wanted to get them down before they left me never to return. Hope you read and comment.)

The Family
Family is caring and loving persons always together. (Another haiku for analysis and I think I am improving even just a little bit. I know that I need work. Does anybody know a good book on how to write these poems better. Let me know if possible. Thank you.)

A Bedroom
A place to bring a sense of solitude and peace a place to rest. (I think I am doing a little better on the writing of haiku, but I know I need practice. So, when I write more haikus please read and share your thoughts on them if you wouldn't mind. Thank you in advance.)
