winter moonset;
on the edge of the forest
a ghost-owl glides

I am fast approaching 70, live in Somerset, and fell in love with haiku just last year. Apart from poetry my other passions are photography, travel and family.

“ghost owl” is a very good description for a barn owl, especially at night or in the fog.

I loved the first line!
It not only just meant the moon setting, but of the effect the moon creates as a backdrop, a set.
Interesting that ghost owl also covers Snowy Owls and Gray Owls.
Also fantastic Ghost Owl images etc… at: http://www.treknature.com
Just use top left search for ‘ghost owls’.
a graceful imagery!
loved it!

I love this one.
I can close my eyes and see it all. Great image!
Wonderful ku. Thanks! I saw two moons setting (the owl being the other). :-)
enchanting image
delightful haiku
a ghostly sight, late one evening while driving cross-country, plastered gainst my windshield, two oversized eyes; the eyes belonging to a barn owl.

misty morn–
it, borne on silent wings
crisscrossing crisp dewy field
The natural made magical.
Good juxtaposition makes evokative haiku. Enjoyed.
Loved the imagery. Owls do hunt along the edges of woods, forests etc.
I love this!
So delicately worded and yet there’s
a hidden fierceness…
