1/.
Grey gives me the blues
Colour blind sky gods paint more clouds
Dripping down like tears
2/.
Haiku For Dummies
Five-Seven-Five syllables
No rhyming, three lines
3/.
Stairway To Heaven
Last chance for the Mile High Club
Descent into Hell
4/.
Clouds eclipse the Moon
Fluff out-darks the black sheeting
Rain works the night shift
5/.
Doomsday Clock finger
Bending into question mark
This close to midnight.

Those are interesting, I am more of a conventional style poetry fan. I usually do four lines four verses.

@sumofalltears that is more like quatrains but as long a it is good to read the type of form is not important

I've heard you speak of this style before. It's an interesting read.

Roses are blue,
Violets are red,
What's going on in my head?
(Rhyming, not a Haiku 
just something that popped into my head earlier this morning.)
