** Not one poem, but a short collection I put together while playing with haiku **

Atlantic ripples
tickle my cold naked feet
while hermit crabs dance.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mice search for morsels,
invading forbidden land.
Rogue hawk waits outside.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Flies bounce off water,
joyful in morning's embrace.
Rainbow trout rises.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emerald green blades
sparkle in crystal raindrops.
Mosquitoes rejoice.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Mighty humpback whale
sings with unending delight
as harmless krill die.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Silent futile cries
echo through the vast forest.
Spider claims her prize.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Blistering north winds
whip heaven and fragile earth,
snowflakes glide care free.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Black banana peel
decaying in couse gravel,
a feast for many.
So... what do you think?

Thanks! I meant to get the thank you on here earlier but looked past this one for some reason. Better late than never!

Terrific!
A nice collection of haikus, Mark. Many images of “crabs dancing” and “mosquitoes rejoicing” to “ dieing krill”. The “Silent futile cries” was eerie and the “feast for many” very witty. Left me with many impressions that took a while to digest since they are very potent haikus.
Enjoyed it very much, well done!

Myself not really used to Haikku I think the world of these you shared with us. They are of strong expression, of brilliant imagery and even with some wit to stir a smile or an "ahh". Truly enjoyable! Ulla

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on these. Even though you were unfamiliar with haiku before, I am glad you were able to get so much from these little guys!

Pretty true to the formula...
From my understanding the first two lines introduce a scene and the third line introduces the twist or the irony of the situation. And classic haiku is always nature oriented as are these. I thought each one of these was evocative and effective. Cheers, MJ. Rewarded 6
