I love the poem
Tanya P. Apr 15, 2009, 8:17pm EDT
Love the pair; very unusual. I never learned to speak 'pigeon'. ;^)

I'm behind on viewing your recent postings, Wrick. Sorry. I'm not doing a lot on here right now, and struggling over what I am getting to. I have full intentions of catching up on you at some point. Just know I love your specialty art and am so glad to see you active on here again.
Patricia J. Apr 15, 2009, 9:07pm EDT
Very nice.
Digital Diva S. Apr 15, 2009, 9:16pm EDT
That's pretty wonderful. I love them both.
Aunt Boni H. Apr 15, 2009, 10:02pm EDT
"Pigeon Talk". Excellent title for my favorite of the two.
Granny Janny H. Apr 15, 2009, 11:04pm EDT
Also my favorite but they both are great.

That first one absolutely delighted me!

i love them both... different feels - in the first my attention was held by the moon, but the second made me laugh. and the colors are perfect - moody and just a little mysterious...
excellent as always, my dear.

thank you all.

thanks, John, Jo, Svetlana, Windstorm and Timi - i enjoy creating the haiku around, through and into the image too!

bwahahahaha - thanks Tanya - i'd get lost in pidgin too, altho i know a few words - Pidgin - ha - Pidgin To Da Max is my kine speak...erm... or is that my kine talk? hmmmm... (Pidgin To Da Max books are great) - No worries about catching up. i fully understand time issues - me too. - still fun to be here when i can get here. you're welcome any time.

thanks Patricia, Digital Diva, Aunt Boni, Jan, and Tonia - ha - i couldnt decide which i preferred between the two... which is why i included both!

thanks Mona - exactly - they both have very different feels to them. laughter is a highly valued reaction ton traditional haiku - anytime i get that result i'm pleased - i dont go after it nearly often enough! mood is another highly valued aspect in haiku so cool on that - and you know i like the sense of mystery - way cool thank you.

Oh my! First, the color, or lack there of, is amazing. Second, I have a tree in my yard that not only cradles pigeons, but cradles the moon as well. Wish I could get an image to write to! Third ... spectacular haiku --- I always see the moon as a companion, and that she is a companion to pigeons does not surprise me!

Thanks for posting in Journey Into Poetry !

This is adorable, I really like the colors and the pigeons here.
