Simply beautiful. Haikus speak volumes in mere 17 syllables.. This is a stupendous example with beautiful imagery.

Great work!

Thanks- I really appreciate the encouragement. The most enjoyable part of haiku, for me at least, is the way it can capture meaning but retain its brevity. The last five syllables are always the hardest for me, but I do enjoy the challenge.

Here's a link that might help you. BTW, since you write in syllables and not onjis, even a 2-6-3 syllable poem on nature is a perfect haiku. May be that would make it easier at times if you fet stuck!

Thanks.

One of the better Haikus I've seen in a while.
