I really like the theme of your Haiku poem. You have managed to write this restricted poem along one theme, which is difficult to do with the limited syllable count. I like the picture which displays the poem nicely, and adds to the imagination. Good use of syllables, nicely written and displayed. Good job with this write.

The birds are indeed "preyers." A great last line. You indicate that the hawk and the crows must have keen eyesight, as they are on the lookout for mice that they can see from their lofty perch. Lovely artwork. There does seem to be something heavenly about the birds, as they have unique abilities that enable them to find food and survive. judi

I have been studying haiku for a while, if you have any questions ANY just let me know and I'll be happy to help all I can. I was a teacher for ten years and it was the best job I ever had.

But you probably won't need any help. Just keep it simple and have fun.

Never saw a black hawk, and never saw a crow that would let a hawk get near him without going on the warpath. Is it legal to put the kigo in the title? Easy to see why I am not known as a master of Haiku. For the correct count and nifty pun, excellent.

Hello, reviewer,

"Is it legal to put the kigo in the title?" LoL It's poetry, not a deposition. Yes, you may put the kigo anywhere you please when you are the haikuist.

thanks.

Hi Gypsy;
-I enjoyed your haiku and your great imagination which I found very inventive and creative.
-The picture was very appropriate, relative and supportive to the conceptual theme of your writing portraying to crows that are on the hunt for mice in the snow.
-In just the picture implies your first two lines have an imagery that is distinctly clear and definitively expressive and vividly descriptive.
-Your satori gives your writing that aha moment and specifically expresses the spontaneity of the excitement or the necessary concept of your writing and also summarizes the relativity of your haiku very well.
-Thank you for sharing and posting this Gypsy and may the Lord be with you always.
Alex

I like this Haiku, Gypsy. "heavenly preyers" is a great closing line. A good play on words with the aha component. You are really good at these Haiku poems.

Hi Gypsy,

I really liked this poem too. You are great at writing the short ones like this five- six-five poem that I just read. So as I've often said, "Write more and I'll be here to rate and review them.
