Aurora

'neath windmill whispers
a blushed sun begins its rise
rooster standing proud

You brought the picture to life. I loved windmill whispers, but I'm a sucker for alliteration.

I can see a rooster's silhouette beneath a slow moving windmill awaiting to greet mornings light... wonderfully done

An interesting take on that picture, Sandra. Unlike others I've read, the emphasis on this one seems to be the windmill rather than the rooster. I do like that expression: "windmill whispers". ... easy to imagine that gentle "whooshing" sound as I read it. Best of luck.

You have to admire the rooster crowing, acting like he owns the world. There is one that wakes my daughter and family at 4 am each morning which is unappreciated. But they do love living in the country. I loved your beautiful haiku Sandra. xxoo

I awake at 4 for work so it wouldn't bother me, but yes they do start rather early don't they? I love the sounds of nature in the country especially... hugs XoXo

Love a rooster's cock-a-doodle-do in the morning and especially more so in the surroundings you describe. Well penned dear Sandy and good luck. Hugs and blessings Jennifer.

Thank you so much Jennifer... something about being out in the country and listening to the rooster and the sounds of nature that is soothing... hugs and love :)

Thank you so much Tom... my muse has been fickle and the current events had me weighted down...I am trying not to surround myself in the news these days and trying to write... at least I have a little concentration back now! hugs
