#HaikuSaturday #haiku
5/7/5:
footsteps are silent
in woods filled with snow and
mist--
glimpse of grazing deer

short form:
glimpsed through mist
grazing white-tailed deer--
silent snowy woods

Silent in cold mists
Hooves land soft as falling snow
Deer graze in winter

snow-filled silence
sneaking around
the deer

faint footprints linger
left on a misty morning
by deer family

So beautiful and immersive. I SEE them!

Thank you, Susan! It was the perfect prompt for yesterday because it was totally foggy/misty.

Fresh snow muffling steps
Rising mist clouding view Deer
cluster undisturbed

The added elements-- fresh snow/rising mist add wonderful depth to your beautiful poem.

snowy still silent
a crisp crunch, a muffled munch
whitetail's chilly lunch

What fun! Delightful alliteration and rhyme!

hushed hooves hardly heard
the hearty herd whispers past
whisps of missed mist

I think this one ended up more word fun than actual haiku. But it was enjoyable to draft.

Your alliteration, s's and imagery sing. This is magical!
