Bridge to Autumn



Ocean breezes
under the second bridge
fishing for fluke



Drawbridge opens
letting summer go
sea gulls cry



The above haiku are a response to a challenge to write haiku with drawbridge as the subject.  The challenge is offered at Haiku Heights September Challenge.  I had no  picture of a drawbridge so I found another photo to post with the poems. This is the first time I have linked to this site.  Join the party!

  1. Oh, I love this. I can really sit and put myself right into it. Okay that's not worded quite right, but you know what I mean.

  2. I love the second one best! The image and the feeling are one. Great job! Great photo, too! You should think about writing a haiku-photo book.

  3. I like where you let the word Drawbridge take you. The words in the haiku with the photo you choose - I find very soothing.

  8. Wonderfully composed. I love both verses, but my favorite is the second one. The second line of that haiku is so wonderfully found.

    Namaste
