Haiku--By Carolyn Noah Graetz--United States

style at my place
black and white
husband's darkroom time

lead in the dirt
mocking birds
sing differently

winter morning
sun shining

    Hi, Carolyn, love your very bright and picturesque Haiku! There is an extra "n" in shining in the 3rd Haiku, but the imagery, balance and depth is spot on! Very creative! Sheri

    Dear Carolyn,

    Nice to see you "whispering". You capture NO perfectly in your last Haiku. Ron Grognet

    Hello Carolyn,

    Oh, how I love haiku. I see something "new" every time I read one. I tried to pick a favorite, but couldn't. I like them all for different reasons. They all made me see and feel something significant. Great work! Hope to read more by you soon. :)
