I have been messing around with this one on and off since Spring. I’m generally not into Haiku that rhyme, but this one seems okay.

Blue gray, stately flight

Soaring above the water

Wingtips touch the light.

You have created a wonderful picture with this haiku. Beautiful work.

Nicely done, not a Haiku person myself but another good offering. Thanks

Alright? Alright? You doubled the challenge and in the process nailed it. Very good offering.

Well done indeed.

The picture makes a great complement to the poem. Haikus are generally too short for my taste but in this case the picture helps
