If you enjoyed writing the haikus, Can I suggest that you look into a longer form japanese style called choka.
Haiku 5, doesn't really tell us anything, or paint much of a scene. Haiku 6 the echo of the word 'world' i feel takes away from what it is trying to say. Maybe, change that first line? Completely.
shunned by others
The walk by, glance, and whisper
alone against the world
.
Also feel free to abandon the 5-7-5 syllable count for the Haiku, that is originally a japanese sounds thing but doesn't translate perfectly to english and can end up being restricting on what you want to say
If this is your first time writing poetry them I am very impressed. Keep up the good work and hope you enjoy it!
I love it but you lose direction keep a steady message but hide its meaning so its discovery is like that of a truffle hard found but deeply loved.
good advice
