+ movement!

I like the imagery created here, the atmosphere of autumn in the park, the dog limping really close to a group of sparrows and the movement suggested by scattering (which I think you have chosen to be smart). Very visual! Well done!

Best wishes,
Marius

..rather as a short poem than a haiku. It's a most striking
short poem, though, with the limping dog and the scattering
sparrows. Vivid images!

Thank you all for sharing, and I'm very glad to receive my first star. As for this poem not being a haiku, I wonder why. It has the essence. It may not have the right number of syllables, but as haiku spread to other languages, rules were relaxed.

But as I'm a professional painter and graphic designer, and not a poet by trade, I am open to hear why it is not (exactly) a haiku.

...seeing that I have been too preoccupied with the 5-7-5 syllables formula. Most important though; the poem is well written!
Cheers from Willy
