Haiku is a traditional form of Japanese poetry, consisting of one unified thought, usually about nature. Historically each haiku had 17 syllables in three lines: 5-7-5. More recently it has been adapted to have fewer than 17 syllables and no specific line length. Senryu is similar to haiku, but is about human nature. For more information check out Wikipedia.

High tide (2)
Swelling tide pushing
upriver, gently forcing
salmon to their fate.
-------
High slack; tides silent
stillness. Tipping point of time
awaiting destiny.
