Beautiful sad image.
ReplyDeleteI knew this would be the perfect prompt for you. Beautiful work as always.
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI also thought about you when I saw this challenge ~~ your specialty.
ReplyDeleteThe photo is beautiful. Am saddened by the nest's slow fall.
ReplyDeleteLike Sherry, I sigh sadly for the sparrow's nest. But I sigh happily at your skill. The "American haiku" is a perfect form for you, Rita.

I too am sad, but you captured this view so well~ :D
ReplyDeleteThe Collum lune is so close to haiku, excepting the word stress and the nature themes... maybe we Americans are a bit lazy when it comes to streeeeetching our minds?
ReplyDeleteLovely haiku, Rita. Yeah, the little nest made me sad as well, and yet, it's part of the natural order. Stuff happens... Thanks, Amy
Two forms in one. Excellent. Thanks for mentioning the cut word--had not heard that before as a requirement of haiku. You have spurred me to read up on the real requirements for haiku. Your poem presents a sad but still universal view.
ReplyDeleteHi dear frieds.
ReplyDeleteAs I am taught about haiku: good haiku must leave room for interpretation.Good haiku are records of high moments. The strength in haiku lies in their suggestions.
So,the different interpretations I got here, is a GOOD sign.
"Kireji" is a cut word.It devides a haiku into two parts that are to be equated or compared.
I am honored by your comments.
Blessings...
Rita
