A couple of Haiku.
I know traditionally Haiku are supposed to be about nature - but the first one just fell into my head and wine does come from grapes - which are part of nature - aren't they?
Wine
Soft kiss of red wine,
ruby glow catching the light.
Intoxicating.
Seaside
Clean winds, far mastheads,
and the cry of Gulls in flight.
Summer by the sea.

Traditionally they are supposed to be about nature - but people seem to ignore that these days. The main rule is about the number of syllables :-
5 in the first line
7 in the second one
And 5 in the third

I never really knew the rules before, so that's interesting.

Re: A couple of Haiku.
Well done Tabs. It's a long time since I had a go at Haiku.I'll tell you this; it's harder than rhyming couplets.
One of the chaps at work used to do it and several of us had a go whilst we were chained to the control desk for ten or twelve hours. You would read the handover notes at the front of the log book, then find scribblings and end results in the back, added to on a daily basis.
It made a change from solving crossword clues over the headsets.
