I didn't know about the two-line haiku...but yours is captivating. It could be the first line of what I imagine would be a wonderful novel! I remember when I was in school (you know--when dinosaurs roamed the planet)--
Haiku were 5-7-5 and about nature. PERIOD! Hah! How far we've come!
(Great image too!)

    I love the modern variations on Haiku.
    They are all new to me, and I'm learning!

I like the use of...a few moonlit steps to describe the distance between us.
I have never seen a two line Haiku. How many syllables are required for
each line? I think the last line reads better if written, that stood rather
than "had stood."

This is a cute fun Haiku. I had no idea Haiku could be two lines! Awesome!

The font is a little difficult to read, but I also have bad eyes.

Good stuff!

This is lovely, and the picture is wonderful. You told the whole story in those few lines, which is hard to do. I enjoyed your posting. The only thing I might change is the orange matting. I would have made it yellow. This is my opinion only. Karen

-Very nice image and presentation, Sanku.
-A well written two line haiku with a good topic.
-Effective nature and seasonal imagery.
A very good opening line sets the scene.
-The second line is very good and allows
us to wonder if the steps were taken
or were they still too much to take?
-Very well done.

That is really good. I really like it. All I would advice is that I have seen others written and they staggered the second line by adding a few spaces. It works visually with two lines adding a natural break and forward step. Another little point I would lose the capital on that. These are little design point and not a criticism of your writing which I love.

This was like the best starting line to a novel, I think I've ever read. I liked your haiku. It hinted at so many different possibilities. It could have been lovers reunited, a parent and child, a killer and his victim. This just sent my story seeking mind into orbit. Beautiful and mysterious. Gretchen

This is an extremely intriguing Haiku. It seems to have rules that we are not used to, and I would have liked to have had these explained in the notes. However, as it is it reads very well and gives an interesting message. kay

Oh, I like it! The first line sets the scene and the second one tells the story of the journey full of anticipation to close the distance between two who love each other!
