Ilkley Tarn

I don't think people outside our little sphere are familiar with the word "Mere", Harry. A mire, Carol, is a piece of swampy land--A mere is a stretch of shallow water that is broad in appearance...they are abundant in counties like Cheshire for instance. All the very best, Harry. :) john

P.S. Or, maybe you meant "moor". ???

I really like this one, Harry, but if you don't mind my recommendation: I think you mean "mire" instead of "mere". ;)

Harry, my friend, where is a new poem? It has been a while now!! Thanks for seeing my recent writing!

Just came here to say hi, and I miss you. I saw your comment at the blog about certain "bloggers" and loved what you had to say!

I',m sure in January it was. It's been a long time since I've been here but maybe I'm back. Thanks for putting me at the top of your list. John.

I think I'll stay inside by the fire and wait for her to come in from the cold so I can warm her.

What a brilliant post. Thanks for sharing.

Good view of the place a bit windy today though I think.' Maybe best to revisit in June..? Anyway pleased to have reddit,& soup mail I have sent you..'

oh, love this haiku, Harry

I was hoping for a new one Harry. I hope all is well with you my friend.

Excellent. Well said and great imagery. Thanks for sharing it.

I enjoyed reading this one again. Still chilly and snowy here.

Wonderful Ku Harry

Wonderful Haiku Harry, It's been snowing here for the past three days. Finally stopped this aft. Really cold out and a biting wind. February is usually the coldest month but March is right around the corner. Things will start to get better then. I hope. Then again, this is Alberta and our weather is very changeable. God Bless and a 7 from me. JB

An excellent haiku Harry. It contains that aha moment! : ) 7

We are quite chilly here as well! Thanks for visiting and posting a comment. I always appreciate your visits.

I've been to the Yorkshire moors in summer, Harry, though I did not come across Ilkley Tarn. I'll have to look it up and see if it fits the picture which I'm forming in my mind. #7 // paul

Love this one, Harry. thanks for sharing!!!

Fine haiku - you stuck to 5 7 5 which is all to the good! Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

Does mere hold a local meaning? I love the imagery. Jan's suggestion that you are talking of the moors sounds like just the place I imagine.

Harry, the last few nights it has been cold in Florida and we're felt that "biting cold" by the sea. I can see the comparison to life as we have to endure all types of weather along our journeys. Excellent haiku! Hugs, Carolyn

Harry, I know absolutely nothing about short form poetry. I came , I read, I left this note. Thank you for visiting me Harry. All I can do is read the comments and say it must be great:)

A 7 for your vivid description in so few syllables, Harry. I've never been good at haiku and appreciate those who are. Janice

OH i love the moors Harry - so few words give me a great image:-) hugs jan xx
