Thank you so much for your kind words. I am so glad you experienced the second line exactly as I intended. Thank you for sharing those particular thoughts.
I sincerely appreciate your concern, but it is not autobiographical.
I am honored to be published within the pages of such a wonderful journal, and I greatly appreciate your support.
Love it!!
I like this very much! Well done.
Beautiful. Love this!
So evocative!
Another fine haiku by Maureen Virchau.
I particularly like the clever construction of the second line with its alliteration recreating the haunting sounds of the crow.
Thanks for sharing this, though I hope it is not autobiographical.

Beautiful.
Exquisite haiku! So poignant and stark.
There is a sense of loss and loneliness, magnified by the empty field and a lone crow cawing. Beautiful and subtle.

I love crow-ku and the atmosphere is striking in this one, Maureen.

Little by little you help me see the beauty of the Haiku form.
I'm a great lover of crows, friendly, and helpful, with a sense of humor, much needed when around human animals. :-)
Wonderful haiku that includes haiku, thank you!
