I stopped for the image--it was/is compelling. But this is weird. Some poetry is weird to good effect; this, though, seems like two different poems. The first verse is one, and the last two another.

Not my favorite.

Haikuist-sensei,
Grasshopper always enjoys your postings. My favorite is the second, two lines with a smooth alliteration of B. Many readers may not understand your satoris in the first and last haiku. Grasshopper does for he was taught that most of Basho's haiku were observations. Wonderful imagery of a walk well taken.

Michael

Hola Guapa, como estas? This is a fantastic haiku suite. I loved it. I was there walking along. What a beautiful imagery you created. And I've learned something new again about haiku, and thanks for that. As soon we've finished picking cherries from morning to evening, I'll have to come back to writing haiku.
I so enjoyed reading your poem. Un abrazo de tu amiga. Ulla:))x

A very well-written haiku suite and it seems to be a beautiful walk beside the water where much inspiration can be found in nature for someone with a creative mind.

There's something we share, Gpsy -
the love of walks by the water. Whether
it's a river, a lake or an ocean, I always
find something soothing when I stroll along
water. I get back into myself and explore
my inner thoughts.

Great,
Apky

Thank you for sharing your observations in this haiku suite. Your poem is very visual and the bits of alliteration add to its impact. Smiles- Joan, from Havana, Cuba

Very pretty. I like to take walks in nature. Here we have canals and lakes right on the property. It's lovely. However, I am nearly never by myself and things like poetry don't come out. You are gifted.

Hi Gypsy,

I liked what you wrote to put in your book. You are great at writing all
kinds of things. I always enjoy reading them too. I'm finally going to be
able to post a poem.
