Haiku My Heart

I just came across this invitation on 
 and thought 'why not'.
It's bedtime, the owls are hooting in the beech tree outside my window.
Why not turn them into a haiku.






Owls in the blue night
calling across the valley.
A sliver of Moon



please join us for

..."haiku my heart at recuerda mi corazon"

    this was indeed a spur of the moment thing, a mere bagatelle, so don't anyone go and take it seriously. It was a pleasant thing to do though.

    I'll have another go another time.

    you have quite stunningly
    haiku-ed my heart!

    seriously..i hope you will return again and again.
    perhaps the pursuit of simplicity will capture you again!

    thanks so much for your lovely offering.

    I like this little sketch, so lightly painted. It may be a 'bagatelle' but it's a very pleasing one to read.

    Oh I love your moon ....our moon at your place. Your night scene is so beautiful. I wish I could be like the moon and spend part of each day/night in a different season as it is so very hot with high humidity here.

    You might have dashed it off in a moment, but it surely sets a mood!

    Understand what you're saying about "spur in the moment," but I do think you caught something there. I like "owls in the blue night" particularly.

    There's a lot to be said for a bagatelle, especially if you didn't have any telle at all.
    Very nice, Friko. I like it.

    It is a lovely moon at night, and I can imagine the owls hooting. A bit of haiku is often a pleasant exercise.

    Thoughts deeper than the night
    making bright
    sense of sight.

    How nice to read. And much needed after a 'difficult day / night.'

    Sunday peaceful for you !

    The picture paints the words or do the words paint the picture. Nice.

    Sunshine in my heart.

    ein Haiku so sinnvoll und schön, ist für mich immer ein Rätsel. Welch warme Farben in der Nacht!
    Einen schönen stillen Abend wünsche ich Dir!
