Hi IndianaIrish - this is a rally good haiku. Lines one and two interconnect perfectly, as required and your line 3 is an excellent satori - 'lawn party' - not just robins have them, we also do. Well done. Clever write. Warm regards Dorothy x

The short poems are my favorite because it gives the poet the opportunity to show their creativity. We have to really use our imagination to make these poems meaningful and you have mastered that with your nature poem. Best wishes.

Ah, spring! The worst of your chilly winter must be over now - thankfully, I'm sure.
This hair-do is nice. A gentle picture, somehow. It's a little different on our front lawn. We have a pair of Pretty-Faced Wallabies (you can see pics of these on google images if you want) who come in on many evenings, when dusk falls and into the night, to graze on our lawn. It's quite special. I suppose they will have a family one day and we may get a glimpse of a little face peeking out of its mother's pouch if we're really fortunate...just like the pic I sent you. Lawn party...party on!!!

    Hi Ant! I did google the wallaby to see the difference between them and kangaroos...and looked at the baby one in the pictures you sent. I hope you do get to see a baby peeking out at you from mama's pouch...that would be a huge awwwww moment in my book. Thanks so much for your review and comments. There's still chances of snow and chilly weather in March. It's 31°F here this morning, but the sun is shining, some birds are singing, and looks like spring will be here soon. Have a great week.

Pleasurable to read, three lines of the haiku poem. Very simple but creative. Lawn party in the park...:) worms come out early when the grass is still wet. Nicely done. With love, Ella

    You are very welcome, Karyn. I have a nest on my patio and love to watch the mother bringing worms to feed the babies. Have a beautiful day. With love, Ella

This is really good haiku. I can easily envision this. Every morning with the heavy morning dew, the worms come to the surface and the robins are out there have a worm smorg, all to themselves. It is quite the "lawn party" for them.
Nicely done!

    Thank you, Lu, for your kind review and comments for my spring haiku. I liked your "worm smorgasbord "! Your rating doesn't seem to be reflected in your comments. Did you mean to give 4 stars? If so, it's okay, just some thoughts how to improve or is there a mistake so I can correct it? Thanks for reading my posts.

reply by Lu Saluna on 05-Mar-2017
    Sorry about that. I am glad you asked, it was a mistake. I have corrected it now. I have accidently done that before. I am happy you asked about it.
    Have a great day. Lu

    Thanks, Lu! Your comments didn't match, so I asked. I've done that before many times, too. LOL

Sounds more like a grub party. LOL. (That word would destroy the mood.) It is easy to picture this. Consonance with early and party, robin and morning.

    LOL Shari! Yeah, I agree grubs don't sound as much as a likable party menu favorite. Thanks so much for your kind review and comments for my spring haiku.

IndianaIrish, yes, you are right. The reader doesn't need a picture to help visualize this well written poem. Imagination works perfectly fine to see a busy lawn of twittering robins :-) A noisy yet beautiful sight. ~DD

Ha!

What a delightful read in only three simple lines!

"robins gather
for early morning breakfast
lawn party"

That is one lawn party I would love to have been invited to attend! I would have even been happy to supply their early morning breakfast of worm omelets, LOL!

Thank you for sharing it and making me smile.

A lovely, beautiful and delightful haiku, Karyn. Excellent imagery and a very nice aha line.
