Four Haiku...5/7/5

Midnight darkness, winter snow, hands upraised, tiny Corgi sleeping.

In midnight darkness

Only the sound of a loon

Shivers up my spine

Winter snow falling

Trees in cold whitewash

Longing for springtime

Hands raised to the sun

A prairie dog choir begins

Another new day

Tiny Corgi sleeps

Dreaming about furry squirrels

Legs moving in chase

Number two qualifies as haiku. Everything else is senryu. Japanese dreams, and poetic forms, chase their tails. What do dreams mean? Dogs and I haven't got a clue. I'm just glad they aren't true.

Thank you for your kind review and also the information about the form. ~Sharon

Four beautiful images cast in words. I love nature and all that it brings here are four glimpses of its magnificent manifestations and its simplicity of grandure.

[Miss Sharon]

I really appreciate your kind review Soren! Thanks so much. ~Sharon

[Ken Simm.]

To be honest I don't really care that these are strict haiku's. They are wonderful poems giving so much beautiful information with just the right amount of words.

[Miss Sharon]

Awww! What a sweetie you are my friend. Thanks for the kind words in review. ~Sharon

[W. Barrett Munn]

Well done. I really found these interesting and fun to imagine about,
most especially the choir of prairie dogs testifying with hand raised.

Thanks so much my fellow poet! The little "choir" of prairie dogs do so remind me of a church choir with hands upraised in worship and praise. ~Sharon

[Betty Hermelee]

These are stunning Haiku's Sharon, each one of them, all having to do with nature in a perfect way!

Perfectly captured haiku Sharon, the tiny corgi, with its legs chasing that dreamt about squirrel painted a very vivid picture that made me smile. I only wonder if they keep looking for it when they wake 😊

[Miss Sharon]

Beautifully written Haiku. The imagery is rich. You've always been able to say a lot in just a few lines. Lydi***
