A Japanese lyric verse form ,

having three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables

traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.

All I really want
in life is to see the sun
When my world goes dark

Live life for this day
Care not for the next one as
It will come when it will

Stars stain midnight sky
Crows claws scratch May's blue moon
Breeze blows loves ashes.
