Countryside Haiku


Intent on their work
Surveyors taking sight lines:
Two deer on "our" street.

Nicely done, Shelley.

Oh, lovely, lovely. I know now that gardeners may not be happy to see them, but I think it must be lovely to have deer visit like that! Nice image in the haiku. Well done.

It always makes me sad to see those guy out here in the country. Poignant haiku!

The picture is as appealing as the haiku. Well done.
