I'm delighted that Blithe Spirit, the Journal of the British Haiku Society has just accepted six of my haiku for their next issue! This is one they rejected!
Congrats on the accepted work and thanks for sharing this haiku. It reminds me a bit of one I wrote not long ago when thinking about our changing global environment and displaced animals / wildlife.
an icy silence as brown bear departs … woods weeping
That is a very sad Haiku
ReplyDeleteSad reality - excellent crafting!

I think you should follow this up with a happy rabbit haiku. :-(

I saw this on twitter and thought it was quite sad. But very poetic :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!

ReplyDeletecongratulations, Juliet! wonderful news.
ReplyDeleteand I like the rejected haiku -- it's so evocative. makes me wonder if it was her mother; makes me wonder if you scooped her up and took her home.
