howling
at the sound of leaves -
storm on the way!

"A gorgeous haiku, if I may say. There are at least two senses present in this one, hearing and seeing, it's a short moment in time, there is a kigo in it and the original counts 17 Onji ... so it's a haiku following the classical rules. Gorgeous ... "

sleepless howling dogs
in olive groves and vineyards
- clouded harvest moon
in olive groves and vineyards
- clouded harvest moon
October full moon
covered by thick stormy clouds
midnight - the bird screeched
covered by thick stormy clouds
midnight - the bird screeched
lonely sunset
the dog howled for his master
in the empty courtyard

That bird screeching at midnight is ominous indeed -- something's on the prowl! [shudder]
ReplyDeleteGreat series ---
Probably an owl I think ;-)
DeleteHere's an unanswerable question: Why do dogs howl?
ReplyDeleteHowling
Doggy telephone system?
DeleteThat last haiku brought a nice memory back. We had a dog several years ago and he was very protecting ... in 2009 we had to let him go ... because he was too ill.
ReplyDeletePoor guy ... it's so sad when one of our furry friends have to leave us.
