~*These were written for my creative writing assignment...they all turned out to be about the end of summer and beginning of autumn, so here they are!*~ Strings of silver cloud Stream past the shimmering sun In a liquid flow. A lone crimson leaf Twirling upon dying branch Clinging fast to life. Dragonfly tumbles Falling through twilight shadows Onto wintered ground. *Krista Knutson* "One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar." Helen Keller |

Krista, may I like these a whole lot? Ahha! Thought so! Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Beautiful haikus, my dear! Love that first one with the silver clouds and liquid flow... A+!  Abrahm Simons "I'm not sick, but I'm not well, and I'm so hot, cause I'm in Hell." - Harvey Danger |

Krista~ This trio of Haiku is lovely and perfectly done. How vividly they color the season. Bravo, dear poet. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

These are beautiful images. I think the second is my favorite, hitting cosest to the mark of haiku. The other two lack the characteristic "turn" or revelation in the third line, but each is a beautiful little poem. |

Beautiful haikus, my friend. Few people have the talent to paint such images in so few words. Thanks for posting, my friend. "Where there is great love there are always miracles" -Cather "Love heals everything, and love is all there is"- Zukav |
