Magpie forages, regal in black and white stripes, treasuring garbage. Fat squirrel slaps tail, chirping territorial, balances on wire. Old oak tree stands broad, strong and stately yet fragile, home to woodpeckers. Rotting swing hanging, echoes of children’s laughter, long ago singing. © 2000 Corinne Bailey |

Wonderfull Haiku, I really liked the meaning in the last one. Reminds me of an artist that paints with ghost shadows, memories of the past. Parker |

I agree with Parker--that last Haiku was really visual, really got me. I love this one.  Christina =^..^= |

Corinne~ This is just wonderful ! You've captured the very essence of Haiku. I happen to be very fond of this piece. Wonderful images spring to life. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Thank you, Marge, I've always loved Hiaku, but find it is most challenging to write, to say a lot with so little and to have some element of nature and surprise. Thanks, Netswan, well, technically, they are four separate Haiku! Corinne |

Corinne, These are great, you've captured special moments in verse and have shared your vision so well! The fourth Haiku really shouts images at me! WELL DONE! Dennis :^) Moonbeams radiate As the veiling cloud has past Playful shadows dance! D.L.White :^) |
