Generation gap

Playful youth, Death and dying

Winter Spring collide

Territorial siege

Weeds and daisies battle cry

A war is at hand

 

Pact made in springtime

Glorious new birth erupts

Love in the meadow

Geography search

Willows crying in the night

Where no one can see

Promised in summer

Seedlings fertilization

Kissed by sun and dew

Conquest in Autumn

Crunching sounds fall to the ground

Leaving winter trees

 

Invoked Spring’s decree

Wild flowers burst into bloom

Fragrant aroma

 

Atrium, enter here

Beware guns are in the wood

Doe is on alert

Planet Colliding

Volcano erupts by night

Darkened skies today

Year ending in drought

Thirsty squirrels paw lake bed

In desperation

Love! Love! Love each and every poem. I don't know what each picture is depicting by its

geographic location, but the relativity and the epitome of haiku expressionism is awesome. Even

without the pictures the poems would be great. Nice work!

Oh, this is perfection! I absolutely loved these haiku.

If I had to pick a favorite, it would be hard, but I just loved
the reaction my mind had when I read the "Conquest in Autumn"
I actually heard the 'CRUNCHING' sound of the falling leaves!

Magnificant poetess extraordinaire!!

I've never been very successful at haiku's. I feel as though I don't have enough room. Which is very much understood on my part because I don't like small spaces in real life either. Elevators are evil. Lol.

What I saw in this piece was more than just words or a format. I saw a vision. I was shocked to open this piece and see what I saw. The way you presented imagery amongst imagery. Both the pictures, and the words flowed well together. You went that extra distance to present your work in the true way you envisioned it within yourself. It says a lot about you as a person.

This made me look at haiku's in a different way. I've seen the technique many times where more than one haiku is used to create a longer poem. In this, you presented it where I, as the reader, could continue seeing color even after the color scrolled beyond the page.

Very nicely executed and presented. You have a wonderful sense of soul.

Bless.
