A Long Night In Winter

Stars shine like silver

through the glass window pane

Lemon moon smiles down.

I like this, and you have subtly varied the trad 5-7-5 format, where so many start their journey. One wonders about the observer of this quintessential nighttime scene. Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I have been wanting to try writing Haiku's. I am going through the writings to see if I can improve my own. You are a good writer.

Thank you for reading and for your kind words, Dave. Once you write your first Haiku or Senryu you will become hooked on writing them all the time and one can say quite a lot in so few words too. Enjoy writing your first! I so look forward to reading it, Dave... Thank you again...

Short and sweet. Despite how few words are present in this poem, you can see the image so clearly, and it brings a feeling of safety and familiarity, watching the night from inside one’s home.

Thank you so v-e-r-y much for reading and for your very kind comment, Alira. You have captured exactly what the poem is about. Thank you so v-e-r-y much, Alira...

Another beautiful and quiet little piece of writing. The night skies I always find very mesmerizing.

Hello dear Willweb and thank you for kindly commenting on my little Haiku. Yes, I agree, the night sky is absolutely magical. Wishing you a very nice evening to enjoy, dear poet...
