Lunes  -  A Lune or American Haiku comprises two forms.
Robert Kelly’s syllable-based is a tercet (3 lines) of 5-3-5 syllables and
Jack Collom’s word-based a tercet of 3-5-3 words

1. syllable-based

euphoria over
welcoming
greenery of Spring

skies opening up
clouds peek out
chirping gets louder

sentiments provoked
go forward
life for the asking

2. word-based

not happy though
market rumored in for correction
bad times ahead

better get prepared
fingers burnt in subprime fiasco
economic woes looming

    The optimism of the weather is at odds with the looming reality.

    The market always cries wolf, one day there may actually be one
