NO WITNESS Away the bird flew No witness to my sorrow Feathers wet with dew

Brilliant haiku! :) The nature in this and the emotions in it is intriguing. -JWE

Thanks JW. I am new to haiku although have written many hundreds of poems in recent years. I'll be posting some "regular" poems in the near future. Your comment is much appreciated. I hope to have a chance to check out your poetry as well. JH

I have you to thanks. I woke up this morning ( live in the Middle East so time zones are different) and decided to take up the challenge after reading your haiku yesterday. I have a tendency to overwrite (prose) so I like the discipline (and the challenge) of writing the haiku. Thanks for your inspiration.
