Rollo West Poet Haiku

Whiteness Contest

Sea caps, white, shadows
Fin, cutting above surface
White caps part, Great White

Herons calling out
Congregating over cove
A gaggle of clouds

Eagle soars above
Snowshoe hare, new tracks, no hare
Disguise of whiteness

Sara Kendrick November 22, 2012 at 5:19 AM Great Haiku work..Enjoyed reading each one..I like the line "A gaggle of clouds"...Is not a group of geese called a gaggle?...I know that it is one species that that is the term for them..Thanks for stopping by..Sara Rollo West November 22, 2012 at 1:39 PM Hi Sara, thank you for stopping by. The word gaggle is most often used with geese, yes, but it means "to gather", so can be applied to various things. Rollo
