I have to agree with all of the above. I don't particularly like haikus, but that was one of the better ones that I have read. :D

I loved it. I suppose it wasn't a master piece among haikus, but I really really liked it. Very well written. I know this is going to sound just a tiny bit weird, but the first thing that came to mind when I read this was Tibet (with all the mountains and what-not).

Great job. :D _/)

Pretty good considering all hope has died for me and haikus. I read one... several yesterday that tore my soul apart and made me cry. Nice job on these ones though.

This fits the rhyme pattern, it's a beautiful image and you displayed it beautifully. I don't favor haikus, but this one was constructed properly - so good job.



For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.
