Thanks for your Haiku:
alto choral yip
prairie grasses bow clapping

This Haiku and its title are interesting and unique.
Vivid imagery has been created with good usage of vocabulary.
Thanks again.

Nice!
That title is excellent and I love the use of astral canopy. I can hear the sharp yip of coyote; the swish of prairie grass beneath a starlit sky. Indeed this is summer. You make it look easy. ~Pamela

Thank you again Pam, you're very close on the animal. Around here we have little red foxes that make more of a yipping sound rather than a howl. It's quite a nice sound out here in the country late at night. One starts then two, five, then they all join in and after that of course the neighborhood dogs have to chime in!
