Seasons end like sunsets; the Catbirds have flown. _m


days close
words that cross this silent pond
birds fly south

This reads like three separate items, a form generally avoided in haiku, which is generally structured around a central juxtaposition. Is that what you intend, or am I missing something?

Haiku don't always have to play by the rules.

I don't see these as three separate items. It made me think of the language of the birds calling to each other across the lake, bidding farewell as they begin to head south.

__With a smile, I'll punctuate.

Day's close words that cross this silent pond; birds fly south.

this is such an interesting one; i read Bills comment and i see where he's coming from; but there's also another take, which more clearly exposes the fragment and phrase eg if we read
"days close and birds fly south
words that cross this silent pond"

much love...
