Forest Still

Sunlight filtering
on moss dampness that blankets
the silent forest.

I love haikus, and haikus about the forest are among my favorites. Moss in particular has always been one of my favorite things. It feels so soft and cool on bare feet! Beautiful image in this haiku and good luck in the contest! Thank you so much for your comments on my poem "The Game of Life"! ~Juliane

You paint a picture with words in this one. I like how you end with the "silent forest"--leaves the reader with something to think about. Good luck in the contest. Have a good weekend. Karen
