Okiyo

Gusty playful wind

Whispered plot from high above

Tiny leaf down my neck

very very very nice....bring it to the present tense...whispers plot or whispering plot and no capitalization is used in haiku....the last line is just wonderful...I can feel it and smell the wind too. (title is only line 1 of the haiku)Light & Love

Nice use of imagery for a creative view. Interesting second line begs for more than one reading. Keep on writing! Karen

Now that's a cute one, Tom. I like the playfulness of these words...and the plotting from the trees...kissed by the leaf! Smiles.(And thanks for your comment on my poetry today.) Enjoy your weekend. Lovingly, Dane Ann
