Nightfall

Haiku

 

The rushing cool winds

 

          fill the dark night of autumn 

 

                             crickets sing fall's song

I absoloutely loved the picture, thought it well described the poem in general.
I don't really like haikus all that much, but I'll tell you what I think of this in the best way possible.

One thing that was sure to catch my eye, as always seems to happen in haikus, though I don't particularly like them, was the pictures that are brought forth when reading. I found that the first line reminded me of someone standing in the woods, and a cool breeze blows the trees. I liked the wawy you wrote that line, as well.

The second line gave me a very clear picture of the dark, night sky, as the last line reminds me once more of the world falling into a sleep-mode, giving the creatures of night their time.

Altogether, I liked this, even though it was a haiku, as the shortness bothers me a bit.
Great job.

"crickets sing fall's song" wonderfully expressed. you brought me into the moment
and held me transfixed until releasing me gently with the last line. nice!
oh, and...beautiful illustration.

I love the song of the cricket in the night accompanied by the wind.

Lol. I love the image you produce with this haiku. I love breezy nights with the songs of crickets to serenade me. =) I think you capture that nicely!
