Haikus are probably my least favorite poetry form. I know small statements can be profound, but most here forget that is the mission behind the writing of one, and usually lack substance. Yours does not fall into that mold.

Here comes again The Master of Haiku, saying so much with a few words and some punctuation in a form short, expressive and wise. Congratulations!

AllCreator Writer, this is a delicious haiku, 5,7,5. It says to me that you are encouraging fall to hurry by after the summer heat and rains...to progress through winter quickly and reach the heralded spring. The season of poets, flowers, dreams, and love. No?

"o harvest reaper!
stay short after heat and rain?
poets, flowers bloom! "

The verse meets all the requirements of the structure.
Well done
Cheers

Autumn short and full, the imagery is there as the autumn time and cooler weather approach. The harvesting and preparing for the winters solitude. A special time and a very special write, Ron

Very succinct, but you caught the essence. Do you think the harvester does not see the blooms, or nature's handiwork, but just the work of harvesting itself? Is that just left to poets and writers or perhaps the artist and the photographer? Got me thinking. Good job.

Of the six or so haiku of yours I have read today, I like this best. Good satori in the last line comparing flowers and the works of poets being reaped in autumn. And great kigo phrase in the first line of "harvest repear". . Excellent work and use of textbook 5/7/5 syllabic count. Nice use of the question mark to divide the haiku into the phrase with concrete imagery and the satori.

o harvest reaper!
stay short after heat and rain?
flowers, poets bloom!

The time for going is to be ceased, as the poet thinks and beckons the harvest season Autumn. Why to stay short when all bloom and mind and heart are fully productive. Excellent Haiku.
