5 - 7 - 5
Haiku are a form of Japanese poetry that are written in three lines with a syllable count of five, seven, five. But don't let that stop you writing whatever you like. There are no fascists here and any contribution you wish to make is welcome. Here we seek the sublime, and if we can't have that, we'll just have a laugh. It's all good.
With the current picture as your inspiration, pile in to the comments and have a go. At the end of the week I pick five and put them on the front page.
As the Japanese say - Let's enjoyment haiku!

to kill the ego
one game of russian roulette
who's taking the pic
red drips over white
blue seas recede serenely
life is but a dream
such a pretty spot
the perfection of the the breeze
blowing my mind
FB
Sea sand and shooting
A smile on a Sunny day
This guy’s lost his head
No more Beat Takeshi
He pulled the trigger, smiling
Now we can smile too.

For those not in the know, the fellow in the picture is Japanese comedian/columnist/film director and all-round renaissance man, Beat Takeshi, from one of his early films, Sonatine.
The Schutte isn't a fan it appears. C'arn the Schutte, you didn't like Hanabi? And don't tell me you're going to get all purist over Zatoichi are you? I reckon Zatoichi was worth it just for the soundtrack.
Good haiku though...
First Zatoichi: Damn the originals were good and damn the takeshi beat version was boring and dumb. The originals had great soundtracks too! That after a long string of really bad movies, it is true, I cannot claim to be a fan of the beatster.

choosing to end life
what brings us to this moment?
smiling in the sun
Calm before the storm
Memorable
moments seem so long
