I love how you used 'mourning' as your AHA moment.
Very well done! I love the vibrant visual. Best wishes to you in this contest with this captured moment. That is what haiku poets strive for.

Yes, quite...
I liked the beautiful imagery of reflected moonlight conveyed as mourning. Also the play on homophones.
Outside the B.S taught in high school, haikus are a form I've left mostly uncharted. I really enjoy how it makes one truly have to think about each word put into the poem. This is a question more than a correction, shouldn't a haiku convey a season? If so, which season is this?
-
-
haikus aren't restricted to just seasons; at least not in the ap class i'm taking. so it doesn't necessarily convey one season. but if it was supposed to.. i would make up that it conveys Fall. let's pretend it does convey fall; we are mourning the loss of warm weather. haha
thanks for the comment =]

get the leap this time

I like the word play this had, it was brilliant while being covert. Excellent job there. Though a haiku, this stayed traditional, giving it emotion and breath and life. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.
-
a clever and sad twist to this but it does create an explosion of image and the ahaa moment
very good write indeed
-
good idea
typo 3rd line -
-
actually its supposed to be mourning. its a 'leap' haiku.
-
-
ok sorry
can you explain the leap, mourning the loss of morning? -
-
its not mourning the loss of morning persay;
its the moon going down in the morning, which represents moving on and started over, as the sun rising does. something has happened and now time is moving on, but there is still mourning of whatever happened.
something like that

ah yes

-
