Aha! You're way up in chapter 10042! (Just thought to check deeper in)
(might want to change it to 8 if you have a minute :-)

:-) Love the satori line! (I'm a sucker for dual interpretations -
human beware. . .snake on the move -or- slippery rock, snake. . .beware
of slip-sliding roller coaster ride!

LOL--What a fantastic artwork choice for this haiku. Excellent originality and word economy. Good descriptive quality. Love the single word satori. Brilliant! Simple and direct but impacting. Great medley of S sounds. Great allusion without stating what you described.

Love,
rd

YIKES! Yellow happens to be my favorite color, Ulla - couldn't you have made the snake black? (LOL) Good alliteration, and of course, a wonderful creepiness accomplished. A very nice haiku (not! lol) Actually, I am kidding - snakes are beneficial. I just fear them! YIKES!

    Oh I don;t like them either, Dawn, and we have so many around here. This was a snake I really saw. It was right next to me, a big fat one in the most bright yellow of colours. It was beautiful, but I was terrified. I think it was as afraid of me as I of it. It wriggled away very quickly. Yikes! Thanks for a great review. Ulla:)))

    LOL - yikes! You're very welcome. You should Google it and find out if it WAS a poisonous one.

A very good haiku. The first two lines set up a suspenseful scene. Quite vivid and creative. The satori, "beware" is a good "ah ha" as it makes you really sit up and pay attention. Well done.
Take care, Lu

A very well-written haiku. A yellow snake slithers down the rock silently and quickly, they are very sneaky and dangerous, take care.

Hi in those few words you have said a lt aly too. These words may also be taken as sybolistic that tells a lot of meaning.
Very well expressed, specially the s s s that tell of hisses and a snake.

this is a fine piece of poetry dear ulla! i was maybe expecting a slightly more complex and climaxing satori but some say simplicity is the best.
anyhoo ,thank you for sharing!

Oh, my gosh..what a scary creature, with a blaze around it. The image captures the haiku words so fine, so vivid, like almost jumping from the frame. Beautifully done in only a few, short words. Excellent art. With love, Ella

Yikes! I like how you start with a "fat shadow" so bring a sense of suspense. Then the alliterative next line shows us what the creature is. Finally, the simple last line only gives a warning. Great picture, too.
