It's nice to see new people joining in on these.

Further, not only do I see nothing wrong with your haiku, I think that they are very good from an artistic standpoint. I especially like the second one.

It's too bad that "arrive" doesn't have a gismu, because tolyli'a is too many syllables and klama is potentially confusing, but that's a fault of the language, not the author.

Felt as though I should try writing a few, probably messed something up seeing as this is pretty much my first Lojban ever, but whatever.

Firstly, for anyone who's interested in Haiku in general, there's a huge amount of (English) Haiku at http://www.haiku.com/

So, this week's APE is to write a haiku in Lojban.

Haiku are normally about nature, but all we're going to care about is that it's in three lines; a line of 5 syllables, a line of 7 syllables, and a final line of 5 syllables.

Lojban seems to me to be a language especially suited to haiku, so I imagine this APE will be especially fun one.

I made the effort of making both the English translation and the Lojban be haiku,  but the rest of you don't have to if the English is difficult to fit into haiku:

co'a lo vensa
lo cifxrula ba banro
ja'e lo nunmle

when the spring begins
the flower buds will blossom
and so comes beauty
