Judy Ball Poet Haiku

Ambush

AMBUSH

Hidden predator,
Waits patiently for it's prey.
Survival to the swift.

                           Judy Ball


Haiku is an unrhymed Japanese style poem recording the essence of a moment.
It has a nature theme which is why I personally like it, nature lover that I am.
It usually consists of 3 lines.  Count is 5,7,5

Andrea Dietrich January 28, 2012 at 9:12 PM Judy, type in Maureen Lefanue. I think that is it. My previous cat was the best I ever had. We never let her go outside. She lived 18 years. They say a purely indoors cat will live long. three times longer than outside cat. If we had caught her cancer earlier, she may have been alive even today four years later!!!

James Fraser July 15, 2011 at 9:04 AM Many a predator ambushes it's prey, and efficiently as well. Fine Haiku Judy :) Judy Ball July 15, 2011 at 9:14 AM Thank you so much James for stopping by and such kind words. God Bless, JB

Don Johnson July 8, 2011 at 11:25 PM haiku new to me, perhaps i will try to gee, become a carpet bagger? great verse, xo, Don Judy Ball July 9, 2011 at 3:14 AM Haiku has become quite popular as has Senryu. They are both the same except Haiku has a Nature theme and Senryu has a humanities theme. Syllable count is 5,7,5 . I had one too many syllables in the last line on this one. Have fun with it and thanks so much for stopping by. God Bless, JB

John Loving Iii July 8, 2011 at 8:07 PM you've got poetry down to a science. john Judy Ball July 8, 2011 at 10:46 PM Not really. I know very few forms. I usually just write what sounds good to me. But thanks bunches anyway. God Bless, JB

Andrea Dietrich July 8, 2011 at 8:00 PM Good ending line, but it's one count too many, sweetie. Thanks for your comments to me and sorry I took so long to see your poetry. Luv, Andrea Judy Ball July 8, 2011 at 10:48 PM Thanks so much my friend. I know, my bad. heehee God Bless, JB
