Haikuist in training

    Snowing, snowing, yet
   
    in bright moonlight weathered pines

    bow before the One.






    The crimson leaf

    floats slowly by, listen!

    Autumn whispers.

Loved the second, but I don't think it's a haiku. Who cares? Lovely. 
 
Phil.
Agree with Phil

Both are nice, as I understand it (not much!) Haikus are supposed to have 17 syllables - the first one does (as I read it)but not the second. 
 
Nice never the less, well done.

I agree with Phil here. I liked the second, eventhough, as Oli points out, it's not a haiku.

Agree with the others, nice imagery, particularly int he second but syllable count seems to be wrong for a haiku

ps. If you are looking for good examples, look at patterjacks haiku collection
