Visions through Haiku

****************
I'm sure you will all give your best!
What I want is Imagery
Something beautiful about Nature
Something that tells me what Season it is
and the Ah Ha! That makes me ponder
*****************
an example;
Blue-jays squawk loudly,
flying between dense branches~
who's in my hot tub?
Also I want the regular rules 5/7/5 syllable count
syllable count a link for your convenience;

Please post in your Authors notes
"This is a great form of poetry
that flows from my thoughts,
though the picture I see is greater,
I have summed it all up beautifully in such short verse."
Last but not least..Thank you to all of you for your support in
Donations, Very generous! Also for everyone that is active
in my contests and our Group
Have fun, Ken IBT
Update to this contest (Moderator Note)
Hi :)
I just wanted to apologize here. We had this on a list of unjudged contests. However the host did contact us and it got over looked, in the meantime it was mod judged.
I've reopened it due to the hosts notes about a computer virus and they will be judged this as promised in the next several days.
Again, this was my error, I missed his IM and I am truly sorry.
Good luck everyone :)

I like the way the last line in your example talks about a human activity (hot tu
. It makes haiku more fun.
It inspired me to write a poem in a similar mode.
I hope you enjoy reading your contest entries.
