Nature Haikus – Geese
By Young Naturalist C
Geese
In a v-shaped form
honk, honking into the sky
Long into the night

Welcome!
Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

The leader of our local haiku group is a world-respected haiku poet who has not only published books on the subject & translated original Japanese haiku, but has also been invited to speak on the subject in Japan. The way he describes haiku is “a poem in a breath.” In this vein, I wrote the following nature poems;
Hop hop hop hop
STOP
Squirrel statue
Startled alive
Shy duck
Bursts skyward
Keep up the good work, regarless. Poetry is good, regardless of whatever “rules” & “forms” are “expected.”

@ YN-J – thanks
@ Lana – Very cool for sure and thanks for sharing!! I didn’t know they had haiku groups, hmm! I am very proud of Young Naturalist C with these and glad everyone else have been enjoying them also! I have two more that I will be posting soon . . . . then maybe we can get her to write a blog haiku??

Beautiful picture of the geese. Really nice haiku, Young Naturalist C! By the way, I had never heard of haiku before I saw it on this blog and looked it up. I’m not too much into literature and the like, I guess. Another thing I learned coming here!
