Beautiful!! The "s" sounds are very pleasing in the first one, and I love the image of the swallows dipping. And the colors in the second one are lovely -- plus the flash of the kingfisher is a really nice sense of quick movement. :)
These have a very good tone, the words connect well with each other, making it very pleasurablt to read. I like that in writing. The colour contrast in the last one is very strong.
Nice. Haiku is the hardest. And you post so many intersting and beautiful things. McDonalds using chip fuel. Who knew it was possible? I know now. Because of you. Thank you. You're crafty. You're just my type.
Both are very nice. I enjoy the "sw" for the swallows and swollen. I can see those swallows in flight. And I'm with others re: the combination of the blue and brown in the second.

Thanks Clare - the only sighting we ever get of a kingfisher is a quick flash!

There is a reason I like the combinatin of blue and brown and you have illustrated it here. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe contrast of the blue and peat really gets me. Thanks Crafty.
ReplyDeleteThe second is my favorite - I can just see it in your words. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely contrast of colors in the second haiku. I really like that image.
ReplyDeleteReally like the first. I can just almost see them flying back up at the last second ... :-)
ReplyDeletethese are both excellent - such movement!
ReplyDeletePerfect little portraits. The second one is so visual!

ReplyDeleteLots of movement in nature. Nice!
ReplyDeleteLove them both... I like the sound of the words "swallows" and "swollen" in the first and the colors in the second. Nice contrasts too.
ReplyDeleteThese paint beautiful word pictures - I loved them :)
ReplyDeleteThese remind me of one of my favorite haiku poems:
ReplyDeleteNightswimming
Alone but nervous,
Fingers fumble the buttons.
Freedom leaves her nude.
