Dear Yem, you have always assured me that you are a gentleman, and in fact that has been my experience too. Check (next) from this poem, and find a great-hearted moose!

Thank you Talia, for applause. I don't know to what I owe your return visit, but I'm thankful for the comments!

I find these really beautiful. You managed to keep to the nature theme of the haiku and yet still brought the view of your friends so clearly to the reader.
Excellent.

This is lovely, Margaret. Lovely haikus to mention wonderful poets as well. I will have to read the Gentlemen Haikus next. I loved this idea for a contest.

Just as wonderful as the 'Gentlemen' haikus! If the aspect of creating an image is the intent of the haiku then you certainly have that mastered beautifully. And each picture matches the person so well.

Loved the way you mixed nature elements with personal feeling!
They are very nice and you are doing so well haiku business
Thanks Marg for your entry and good luck in everything you do
Love and peace,
