    I love these tiny poems. They are harder to do, don't you think? The second one has a slight mystic touch, I like that.

  4. Both are visual - lovely. I'm particularly fond of the second - owls are magically connected to moons.

  5. Beautiful to imagine the dark shadow of an owl over a bright moon against a dark sky.

    yellow and white, blue and black, a beautiful combination, just like these haiku and how the opposites merge into a piece of beauty...thank you.

  7. I love the contrast between the colors of the moon and sky...it makes it so easy to "see" your haiku.

  8. These are both lovely. I very much like the second one also because of the owl which is a bird I greatly admire.

  10. You gave me the shivers! The moon certainly has its shades of personality--and brings out ours! God bless.

  25. These are lovely. I'm interested that Haiku syllable counts can vary. I wonder what the limitations are.
