spring paints our pleasure loud raspberry, regal purple, bubble gum pink, pop art all in one reckless flash defies our winter vision writing a series of mechanical haiku dry as equations no pyrotechnics dazzle my darkling inspiration dream of hot pursuit fading on the morning light a flock of ravens cawing on the balcony at a middle-aged scarecrow |

B...although not Haiku by definition, the series of suggestions fit the vibe of a Haiku and Senryu blending..enjoyed the view. welcome to the bluezone |

Hi, Bastet and just wanted to compliment you on the splendid writing. Be aware, however, that haiku is 3 lines: 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables. Still, your 5 line poems show considerable talent! Jeff |

Gorgeous, crystal clarity! Lovely work, as for the structure, I suppose it has it's place, if you really want to go there. Welcome welcome!!! I look forward to reading your poetry. |

Yes, I agree with all the above comments. Your poems are a delight to read. In this one you paint pictures with words. I can see the whole scene with the weather changing. Thank you, Sunshine. It's a great way to start the day. |

I love this, Bastet- am I wrong in assuming you were writing `about` Haiku, not intentionally `in` the form? That is the way it strikes me.. how Spring`s abundant profusion cannot be corraled into such a tight form.. sublime, as always. ![]() |

Thank you Amaryllis. You are quite right. It is not haiku but tanka (5-7-5-7-7). Glad you liked it. |
