Thank you Eve. This was such a fun contest. The "gif" was really inspiring. Hope you are doing well! Many prayers and hugs!

Hi LJ - thank you for your compliment and your encouragement! Have been experimenting with haiku, sedryu and sedoka. Enjoying the challenge of putting full thoughts and images into limited words with a punchline ending! So fun. Hope you are doing well! Many blessings to you! Glad to see so many of your poems on the winners lists!

Thank you dear friend! hugs and prayers.

Thank you so much Susan for your congratulations and encouraging message! Haiku is an amazing opportunity to paint with vivid imagery then end with a punchline - so fun to create. All the best to you!

I do love that bossy rooster - his morning song - sometimes! The picture really didn't seem complete without the windmill and its soothing rhythm! Thank you dear friend! I have grown to enjoy writing haiki, senryu and sedoka - great exercises for the verbose and loquacious like me.

Thank you my friend. The "gif" was such an inspiration. Have seen mornings like this in the country - beyond words but we, as poets, still try. Isn't it wonderful?!

Hi Tom! Thank you. So many ways to go with this wonderful gif. Thank you for your best wishes. All the best to you. Blessings. Over Fork Over!

Thank you dear friend. Morning is so beautiful in so many ways. Was a wonderful challenge to encapsulate that beauty in a haiku. Sending you blessings and hugs!

Thank you. The picture provided was a wonderful jumping off point. I'm finding I really enjoy haiku, sedoka and senryu. They are a refreshing change and challenge! Be well. Have a good weekend. Blessings and hugs.
