Another fine poem, coupled with the sounds of early morning life, makes me want to be standing in the field with the horse and dog. I'll just find me a tree while the other do the hunting. Great job. :-)

This is a fine haiku about the loyalty and the hunting effectiveness of "man's best friend." When I first read your title "loyal friend runs" I thought your poem was about a friend abandoning someone in their time of need. Oh, the scalawag! Only upon closer reading of your poem and picture did I realize you spoke of hunting dogs. Your poem captures the activity of hunting season on a crisp Autumn morning. Thank you for sharing.

This is a fine haiku for the autumn challenge
With good imagery and connection in the friend/prey
and a solid satori line
The only suggest I would offer
is be more specific in the imagery rather than general
Such as: hound/fox or setter/pheasant

loyal hound runs
ahead to flush the fox--
crisp Autumn morn

An excellent haiku
Well done

The loyal friend never loses a step in the search for prey. The picture, though, suggests that the dog prefers to play rather than hunt, and the horse is content to watch the dog.

I love this rural haiku, of course the technical side is on the button but I can imagine his dog running ahead in search of prey, mutual respect between them and of course the perfect time setting, Autumn. MaggieF

What is a horse's prey? Gypsy lol I thought they ate hay?
Lovely background sound so apt. Interesting interpretation . Maybe a hunting dog and a carnivorous animal for the photo? Maybe I am being to anal about the picture chosen. Your haikus are getting deeper.
Oh I just read your author's notes that explains everything You don't usually have author's notes explaining your haikus? Nice write nonetheless

dip

Thanks for your explanation of your haiku I am reading it so different now

    dog's prey, not horse's prey ... hahaha I didn't explain anything I just said that dogs help hunters hunt and they are friends. The picture is just a pretty picture to go with the poem nothing less and nothing more. Do you like it? I thought it was neat the way the dog is communicating with the horse but the haiku is not based on the picture.

    Thank you for reading, my friend.

    Dr Dip, it's ''haiku'' for one or for many, for singular and for plural. H A I K U not H A I K U S

    That is your mini lesson free of charge, you are welcome. HAHAHA!

I have just recently came back from a hunting trip, deer was what we were after and deer is what we came back with, only one but we were happy with that. We don't use dogs when we hunt deer but if we go after pigs... : ) I don't trophy hunt, meat for the freezer is all I seek when I go. Excellent Haiku Gypsy Blue rose, You've inspired me. I 'm going to write a hunters haiku just for you friend : )
