lupine–
a darker blue
in the hoofprints

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.

This one caught my breath with its beauty and depth. Allowing line 1 to be read alone or as a sort of pivot with line 2 adds richness to this. Well done!

I’ve had a bad habit of rushing through these in my email lately. I did the same with this one, but something drew me back. (I suppose that’s what all good poems do.) I really enjoy it for its simplicity and beauty. It has that unexplainable something that makes it memorable, makes one linger, and I enjoy the brief window into your surroundings. Simple, honest, effortless. Bravo and thanks. -ep
allright all of the haiku traditionalists
loved your poem, and it is well done.
however the world isn’t all rural or
all flowers.
