believe me, I myself had no idea, but then I got to know that its a three line poem not exceeding 17 syllables, that is it and I wrote it. I don't even know whether it qualifies for a haiku or not.
aloha Meenakshi - you have a good eye for the "moment" you speak about in your haiku. i like that.
as you mentioned this is your first attempt with haiku and i saw you like to read (many of the same books i like even in those few you start with, of your long list) i'd like to leave this link here for you:
http://www.ahapoetry.com/
that is "Ah Ha Poetry" it is one of many excellent sites that offer great insight into haiku (and other poetic forms). i like this one a lot but there are as i say many others. especially explore the left column under "Haiku" - Jane is a brilliant writer and speaker and her haiku almost always catch "a moment" in unique ways.
i hope you continue to write haiku and enjoy it as much as i do. aloha.
I thanks myself for letting myself loose to dabble in the world called blogging,that introduced me to wonderful people like you. Thanks for your kind words and sharing this link, Rick. Please keep visiting my blog and give me feedback to improve it. I will look forward to your remarks in my posts.
