What a nice, simple haiku, indeed. Lovely word with the lovely, vivid word choice to portray such a straightforward, but rather pretty picture. Excellent work and keep it up!

This is lovely. I am fond of Great Blue Herons which are common here on Cape Cod. There is a feel of elegance in your words. The last line about a "morning yoga class" is priceless. It is a perfect use of words to create a scene.

A very well-written haiku. The heron can be very elegant on their long legs, looking like they are busy doing yoga or some slow rhythmic dance all together.

This is a brilliant Haiku summing up a brilliant picture/story. It is like a poem concentrated and works perfectly to convey what is intended. I am very impressed with this Haiku well done.Meia :)

To make my review save I will claim I know little about Haiku or herons, and that it is presumptuous of me to review and rate a Haiku. Let's see, five seven five, present tense, in heron season, sound image, reflective last line...looks fine to me.

Nice artwork for the poem. Good metaphor for herons balancing in the last line. I wish I could do yoga as gracefully.

Keep writing
