I think the last haiku feels the most Japanese. The blackbird quietly ‘lands’ winter, almost functioning as a seasonal word, alongside the human solitude in the poem.
Beautiful haikus. It feels strange to read Western haiku without the constraints of traditional Japanese haiku, yet all three are strikingly beautiful.
So interesting the way you combine three haiku together—making a fourth one.
(And, just an observation: I’ll re-stack or publish something—as a Note— but then, it’s a nightmare to scroll back through Notes and try to find it later.)
Treble takes time
Hole in sky
Haiku winsome.
Beautiful pictures.

That's why I say 'haikuish', to distinguish from traditional haiku. I appreciate the insight! And glad you like my pics.
I like the haikuish poems!
Nice.
Thanks, Rod!

Oh, I know. Notes can be a pain. Like your idea of a '4th'. Thank you.
