Good, but it's hard to understand haikus what I read till now, maybe cuz my main lang is not english.

This inspires me to try one, though they're probably hard.

Now THAT'S a good haiku.
I admire the haiku style. I've been tampering with it for a while, but I've never quite.. mm, I digress.
This is good.

Aw, that's lovely. I could never manage haikus. Amazing what someone can capture in so few words.

Wow.
That's pretty good.
I'm never been a big fan of Haiku's.
I don't know why though.
Oh well.
+ Fav!

Beautiful! It's hard to find a truly good haiku, much less write one. I enjoy dabbling with haiku, but dang it's hard! Congrats on the DD!

Yep, I find them pretty difficult, but I like doing them too much to give them up.

This is a gorgeous haiku. It's especially difficult to write a good haiku in the 5-7-5 format, but you did a great job!

But you deserve these, seriously. With Swinburne, Poe, Alliksaar and some others you're my favourite poet.

Very graphic. I wonder if leaf touches snow or the snow touches leaf but... same difference I guess. This is a great haiku, congrats on the DD, sir!

Sometimes short can be more descriptive than a whole essay. I think this is the epitome of a good haiku, and they were very wise choosing this for a DD. You have a very beautiful author's tag, too.

why thank you! the tag is my homage to depeche mode. *chuckles* i am an avid fan.
i am just now starting to grasp the essence of what makes a good haiku. hopeful for more chances to experiment; these may be short, but they are far more difficult to pen than my typical free verse. so much to capture in so few words.
