I strive to accomplish this more traditional Japanese Haiku version. I am familiar with your kigo source. For me, the satori line is often my bugaboo. While not member of your society, I do follow the free site: theHaikuFoundation.org. I really enjoy this poetry form(at).

Thanks for posting your Haiku. Surely, the Haiku purists will be inspired by your entry.

Your image is stunning, obviously chosen to illustrate your lovely words in the Haiku. I love the sound of Morning air blankets. This is a lovely and well-written Haiku.

What an interesting painting to go with your haiku.

Your well chosen words pulled me into the scenery provided by the painting and I found myself being carried into a story yet untold.

Enjoyed.

You really created the scene successfully in this haiku! From the distant barks to the moss, they were all easily visualised and came together beautifully.

I love to artwork to this it sets off the haiku perfectly, the overflow effect in the poem. I like the insinuated inference of things being clothed or covered fits well in the theme Gypsy, well done, blessings Roy

Autumn is indeed a colorful season with all the leaves falling. I enjoy the smell of autumn more than other seasons in America. In Thailand the monsoon season smells the best. I hope I understood your poem correctly...

A very well-written haiku about the morning sir blankets that cover the dark path of moss sprinkled steps until the sun rises and reveals the late autumn morning's secrets.

Really like the image you chose - I can almost smell the sea air - and I like the moss sprinkled steps. So well describe.d One can slip on those steps. the last line might describe the dogs better - such as "dogs bark the morning" or some such.
Well done poem

I just love a well-written haiku. Nothing beats that sense of awe I guess is the word. This is terrific and the sound of the dog barking in the distance is what gives this write such depth.

Great job Gypsy and a most enjoyable read this evening.

I relished your parallel, Asian-themed artwork selection. I admired your appeal to our senses of sight and sound in this 5-7-5 haiku. Best wishes in the competition- Joan
