Haiku

I have been reading about Haiku and I think I may start a book of Haiku for myself.

Here are my first two -

Pussywillow gone
Birds with no food at their water
Fish gasping with air

Too gloomy? How about this...

Violin stings plucked
A quiet cymbal waiting
Music on the way

Now this one feels good!

funny, the first time i moved to japan i envisioned myself sitting near mt. fuji and writing haiku but i never got around to it.

i like yours, especially the 2nd one. read the first and see if you can find a slight error.

maybe i should write haiku since i am the country of its origin. let`s see if i can write one off the top of my head.

beautiful black cat
round belly filled with kittens
wish to make them mine

i took a break from kitty feeding today because i am exhausted from doing so much yesterday. more on that in nagoya news on sunday.

have a great weekend!

OMG! I can see that cat right now. Nice.

No, I don't see any errors in my first one. Were you thinking ..."in" their water?

It's warm and sunny this evening in Seattle. I hope you have a good weekend too!
