Author notes
A wonderful 'antiphon' response...
at sunset
nightingale hums softly
engulfed by God

I am not going to repeat what I've said before, but I'll try to applaud it again

Thank you, Mari!

Another well succeeded haiku Ge!

Well, I had to look up what 'anthipons' exactly means (English isn't my maternal language... luckily someone invented a few years ago these things called dictionary eh
)
And again you succeeded in bringing this excellent image with your words... and I have to say, a special and unique like AHA-moment I wouldn't have thought about sunrise...
Excellent work you entered here thank you for that!

This is wonderful. I love haiku when they are written with such talent. This is certainly one of those. Thank you for sharing. Patti

You're right I really do like this. It's awesome!!! I love the background too it's so briht and cheery! Just like a sunrise is bright and cheery! Great write!

Thanks again, Karen I really appreciate your wonderful comment and applause. You've got me worried now, that this may be the 'consolation prize'.

You are a brilliant writer of haikus and this is no exception. Another wonderful piece with nice imagery such as the morning birdsong.
-
This is very nice.
I love having birds as my alarm clock.
It allways puts me in a good mood.
Very nice haiku
Thanks for your entry.

I love the songs of birds I truly enjoyed this one and the comments too One think about a good haiku it inspires others to write one as well and I see some good ones here in the comments.
-

Love your work -
Excellent
Hi Gennelle:
Yes, you have defined it well. The chorus of birds singing in the morning is beautiful, although I seldom know which bird is singing at the time. Thanks for this wonderful write. Bill -
Thanks Tommy I'm not familiar with "rictameters", I'd be interested to know.

Fly on Poet!
Well hey good friend,
I see you're stuck on haikus. Well, you're in the zone so I'd say pen on! Have you ever tried rictameters? They are pretty cool. There is something to be said about the poet who says so much in such little words. You know that magic, good work.
Tommy -
What? u can applaud even if u dont have any applauds left?? Wicked!!
-
Thank you, horsecrazy! I really appreciate comments from those not familiar with the form. Their impressions tell me if I conveyed the intended content affectively.
Btw, I give people applause even when I run out of the 'bonus' ones...so what's a few points if you really like something?
~ Ma'atkara

this is the first time i've ever read a haiku because i never really knew what one is but now i do. This is really pretty, it took my breath away. I'm speechless. All i can say is wicked write, keep it up and i would applaud but i've used up all of my applauds (oops)
-
Lovely!!! What a beautiful imagery of the dawn!
Excellent!

This is a wonderful haiku. So many levels in it to ponder. This is one of my favs of yours so far.
The way you placed "sunrise" so boldly by itself as L3 is cool. "Sunrise compatible with the awakening. Very nice.
Don -
Excellent
The dawn chorus, ascribe the meaning that gives the most meaning! I like the celebration of life, but naturalists dryly suppose instinctive behaviour. Having been through several stages of life, up with the birds, still up when the birds arise, and now wishing the birds would shut up and let me sleep, your poem has a lot of meaning for me! I'm getting too hilarious (maybe you don't think so), time to call it a night. Nice writing!
-
ooOOOooo yes! Very lovely!
-
Thank you Maybe you just haven't read enough good ones...Have you read any of Haikumonk's?
