"Haiku Sampler"







rusty robin red
worm head peeking careful
-retreating again

















dusky bat glimpse
random lightning bug sightings
warm star-sky neck-tilt 






















leaf rake leaning tall
musty leathery work gloves 
geese gather sky high

















frosty snowmen faces 
hot soup simmering--yum
gift wrapped children dream












My Submission for : Old Pond a Frog Leaps In

  8. These are very nice modern haiku. Please go back and check your syllable counts more carefully, and bear in mind the need for a cut, or turning point, juxtaposing your images.

    My bĂȘte noire: the confusion of "peek" and "peak", not to mention "pique". If you meant to do this, congratulations. But be warned, it can be easily taken for a mistake.

    Let me know when you add your fifth verse! Thanks for contributing.
