A bridge carrying a horse and cart during the Autumnal season here maybe? You brought the scene to life with your ambient words and fine presentation, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

Gypsy,

As you know I like the freedom to use alliteration in my contemporary Haiku. Your verse sprinkles this idea throughout. Very good post for your Haiku club event entry.

Not really enamored with a 'creaking' creek, but of course, you went for the alliteration! The bridge might creak, but the creek I am not sure it does; it bubbles and ripples, or gurgles and guggles.

Mark

Hello Gypsy :)
The imagery in your modern haiku is lovely and stirs the senses. I can hear everything you mention and the sight is easily brought to mind (no artwork required here - albeit lovely!)
Beautifully done!
Best wishes as always, Debra :)

This is a good modern haiku with the theme of autumn.
The alliteration works well to give this piece extra visual.
Love the colours in the picture - very vivid, almost electrifying.
Thank you for sharing.

Beautiful and thoughtful presentation. The alliteration is very effective, also the play on creek/creaks. We can hear the crunch of the leaves under the horses' hooves, so you have engaged both sound and sight. A lovely Haiku.

Excellent haiku. Its word strokes paint a vivid picture of horse riders in the autumn woods. Bold use of poetic licence in "creek creaks". Nicely done.

Be safe

I love alliterative poetry and, modern Haiku is full of it, I suppose. I love the double words of the creek and creak put in succession in the same line of the poem. Each said the same, but with different meanings, of course.
And every line is loaded with similes and alliteration. That works for me!
I also love the picture choice!
Thank you for posting, and have a good evening,
Jesse
