yawning while stretching
just before dawn–
this bird repeating song
the river fades in the sunset
as the chrysanthemums
move apart…

the white chrysanthemums
bud one by one

I loved this haiku! It was simply eloquent as well as pleasing to the ear. Well done!
Thank you everyone! I have a new book available. Each has a Haiku page as well as 40 pages of poetry and a short prose piece.
