tinywords: haiku for 3 February 2005 by Mike Farley

quiet morning . . .
some of the fence
still standing

—Mike Farley

About the author: I live with my wife Shirlee on a cattle ranch near the little ski town of Red Lodge, Montana, and have been loving and writing haiku for several years now. I draw my inspiration from the images of the high-plains, mountains, weather, wildlife, livestock, ranch work and outdoor recreation which surround me daily.

night-storm passed, morning sun
footsteps in the smooth new snow --
cat and squirrel!

bright morning
footsteps in new snow --
cat and squirrel!

quiet evening
warmed by the fire --
click of her key

Beautiful!
The silence that this haiku evokes is profound;
I can almost hear/feel the wrath of a storm the night before, and the stillness and quiet of the morning after affects the senses with as great an impact. You are a keen observer...a gifted poet.

Just wanted to say well done - simple, quiet, stark, evokative. Wish I'd written this one!
