First attempt


Ripple in the brook
Glitters in her opal light
In love with the moon


Ciccada's old song
Warns us of winter to come
He's always on time


Little bird of song
Silent on a swaying twig
Still captures my heart


Don't know if this is right

right?  They are perfect.  I knew when I saw your name and the first attempt I was going to be treated to a special gift and I was.....three of them....beautiful all of them alone and together.

If all of your knew ventures turn out this good, you should always be trying something new!  I love them

You seem to have done it Liz, and soon I hope to join your ranks shoulder to shoulder on the haiku-field (this might be the only playground where we might be equals, still, unless you speed away like all other forms... )

regards,
sudhir

Mark, I'm not sure they're perfect as far as content, or perhaps I'm thinking of old rules. Antway, thank you for your compliment. It is very encouraging

Lakewalker, Thanks so much for reading my poems. You really do a lot of reading and I appreciate it when you comment on mine
Thank you

Sudhir, If you want to Haiku me, go right ahead, and I'll quip a Haiku right back at you. Let's see

Master of all prose
Master of all poetry
Sudhir likes Haiku

Thanks for your wonderful comments, dear friend

You excel at any form you try! How are the rest of the Villanelles of the Month coming along? You didn't think I'd let you forget about them, did you?!

Kaile, I don't know where you found this, but thank you for reading and for your kind comments, and to all who responded, I thank you also. This must have slipped to the back and I hadn't seen all the comments. Very much appreciated

Lizzie~
These are just lovely.
I'm glad it was brought back to the top
as I surely had missed it.
Well stated, my friend.

#1  - they're all 5-7-5 - so in my book they're haikus
#2 - there are some - who will make some statement about the last line resolving something or some such BS. As like those who are not content to merely look at the simple quality and beauty of the statements and go bonkers with this or that technical jargon.
Ignore them!

To you I say:
Poetry thoughtful
Sublime and most intriguing
Woman for us all
