Whispers outside my window

A mourning dove coos
from a treetop perch unseen
breeze rustles the pines

It's very short but a rich poem.

Domo sumimasen, Miki-san! I didn't like the first version of this poem that I posted Thursday afternoon, so I rewrote it and retitled it. I like this one much better.

No jacket today
But tomorrow much colder

I agree with you. This version is much better.

Hi Miki,

Yes, I didn't like the first version at all. Thanks for your comment!

As ever, Anu, thank you!

Lucky you!

Here's mine:

Skyscraper called home
A helicopter flies by
To keep the sea safe


That was a first!!! woo hoo!

Hey LB, that was great!!
Haiku and senryu (same 5-7-5 syllable arrangement as haiku, but a poem about human nature) can be great fun!
