Traditional Japanese Haiku 7.0
(i) Winds of Silence
the wind blows northward
I contemplate its silence
it's the breath of God
(ii) Monkeys Reign
monsoon come so soon
jungle plants get refreshed
but the monkeys drown
(iii) Winter
a woven white rug
walking on a crunch carpet
powdered snow brings light
(iv) Sun Day
my meditation
brings me to my happy place
sunny but still sad
(v) Pop The Question
Mother of nature
Tell me where is my father
a proud forest Elm
(vi) Reflections
such a glorious day
tree spirits absorb the sun
reflected back in song
(vii) A Poke At April
April showers soon
I can smell her stink from here
I prefer a bath

Author's Note
These Haiku pay homage to the Japanese art form
Its form is a western interpretation
THESE ARE CERTAINLY HAIKU!

Nice set of Haikus. I like the twist in the 2nd one (it has 9 syllables in the middle line). The idea of tree spirits (No: VI) absorbing sun and converting it into song is a great idea - could be explored in a longer poem?

A nice grouping, each stands on its own merit. I admire those who express thoughts with deference to the economy of words.
