    This inspired me. I think I will be able to get a haiku out of that inspiration

    Excellent again!

    Love, love, love this! Imagine: a day passing by; a life passing by: water under the bridge. Now: a small correction, perhaps? Apostrophe? sun's?

    oh, I love this. I think sometimes just a few lines can have much more impact than a long or elaborate piece. This is a wonderful image.. makes me think of warm days and spring

    Oh so lovely poem. Simple and deep, a bit like the water under the bridge. Thanks for sharing.

    Entertaining

    Hi Andrew:
    Keep on smiling. Here I thought my Feathered Horn was silly. We are not going to get in a competition to see who can write the silliest Haiku. I did enjoy yours though. Thanks. Bill

    ah.... I see.... read your explanation.... I think the word "under" is what throws this for a loop a bit..... I had a really different image with you underneath the bridge with the sun setting in view.... you looking at it and it at you. Now with the pond reflection.... hmmmmm I wonder if there is a crisper way to produce the image..... where the reader snaps it up.....? Anyway, always a pleasure to read your fine work.

    No matter chasing grey clouds or the sun this haiku brings at least that sunny feeling everyone is anxious waiting for. Seems you were lucky enough to see him also.
    nice writ Andrew

    oh and on the background a face is a dream (Kings singers)

    lol...I love the three billy goats gruff.

    In all honesty, I was on top of the bridge looking over the edge, in the water was my reflection with the sun on my shoulder. But I'm sure I could hear 'who's that trip trapping on my bridge.'

    very good

    I can not help when reading this to wonder why you are under the bridge. Immediately 3 billy goats gruff come to mind but surely that is not it as your poem speaks more of comfort. Now I have a quandry upon which to spend my day.

    Well written
    John

    Yeah that would be nice.... There is this really cool park here in Portland called Cathedral Park... It sits under this huge bridge and the supports look like gothic cathedral supports, like the spines of an arch. It is really kind of cool... There is jazz there during the summer... thanks for giving me something to look forward to... Susan
