Hello Gypsy Blue Rose
Your haiku reminds me when I was a child, how I loved to walk int the damped moss it would be nice if I heard a dog bark.

The feel of an early autumn morning was successfully captured in this lovely and well crafted haiku. I love the accompanying artwork as well. Beautiful sentiments.

Haiku it is. Nice. I liked the split ie: 'barks in the distance'. Great image. Good luck in the comp. I won;t enter the comp but you have inspired me to write a haiku - Cheers DJ

I like the mood of morning air blankets the mossy paths. It just feels like fall, the extended hours of darknesses, the increasing ground cover underfoot. I confess I'm puzzled by the bark. Is it a dog or is it a metaphor for something else?

    It's a dog in the distance...just to complete the visual auditory effect. Thank you very much for the review 😊

I get an image of fresh morning air leaving a cool mist on a bed of moss which highlights foot steps glistening in the morning. In the distance a dog can be heard barking.
Lovely haiku.
A question for you, Gypsy. Is there some hard and fast rule of how to write the title of a haiku?? I know we don't give them titles but does it really matter how we title them for FanStory?

    No, most hayku are not titled but we have to put something for fanstory.

    Thank you very much for the review 😊❤️

I love the image that comes from this piece. It speaks of a change in the world going from night to day. The world around awakes as the creators of the night say their last farewells.

Nice depiction in your haiku of a morning covering a village and the sense of civilization is covered by the "barks in the distance." I know that haiku doesn't have titles but uses the first line. Did you mean for the title to use "blankets" instead of "covers?"

    Hello, Iyenochka, thank you for letting me know about the title. I changed the first line and forgot the title. Thank you for the review.

morning air blankets
the dark path's moss sprinkled steps --
barks in the distance

The last line makes us think. We hear but do not see. We stay alert, and listen for the sounds to come closer.

This is a lovely little poem. The colors of the image remind me of a Van Gogh painting. Your words are well chosen and I enjoyed reading this one. Thanks for sharing.

Your words paint a vivid picture in the reader's mind. Well done. If I had to make any suggestions, I wanted to read

morning air blankets

but that's just me.

It's a good haiku. All the best in the contest.
Jan
