slender beeches sway
wind twirls and lifts evening gowns
wind twirls and lifts evening gowns
celebrate first snow
English teacher soap-box: As you write your haiku, remember it is more than a simple 5-7-5 syllable form. Haiku is more a comparison of two unlike things, the combination of which allows the reader to experience a sense of satori (enlightenment). You know--like snow in October, or other such foolishness. (Seriously, folks, there's a blizzard today in Pittsburgh.) In fact, I would argue that the images are more important than the syllable count...
in the midst of clouds
still silhouettes poised to dance
still silhouettes poised to dance
await live moon rays
(These images strike all my artistic muses... I was totally wishing for different angles with the right lighting and camera, which wasn't possible along the walk to school...)

dancing with the stars
stern judges harp on posture
no fault to find here
(sorry, renee, my haikus always tend more toward the silly than the profound! and sometimes they reveal my TV viewing habits...)
look at the ent-wives!
How'd they stray from middle earth
To land in Pittsburgh?
Your right you don't see that in the woods every day. Its like the tree of shoes up north :)
Here's mine, I was not strict with the syllables, sorry Renee!
How often do we stand
Still beside a future soul friend
And do nothing?
Love your blog. Big hug.
