Autumn

apple peel sliver-
this bridge over the River Ouse
breaking cloud cover

Area 17 said...: Thanks Vida, wasn't sure if it worked. The River Ouse bridge I cross over to make my way to Hull has been one I've been working on for months.

Not sure if I've got it right of course, but maybe there's something in this draft that I can keep for a final haiku.

Really appreciate your thoughts and comments helping me to get closer to a haiku.

all my best,

Vida said...: You are welcome, Alan! Unfortunately I am not at all professional writer and I cannot say if you got everything right, but I love the flow of the poem and the feeling that it leaves.; September 18, 2010
Area 17 said...: Thanks Vida,

I appreciate the candor, and feedback. It's always too easy to just "do" an okay poem, and not take criticism.

I'll take this as a useful draft, and leave it a while, give it some distance, and see if it still works.

I'm really grateful for the comments, they are incredibly useful. ;-)

all my best,
