Fleeting flutters of Eiderdown
Falling leaves.

Softly, joy cascades.
Timely wisps, like eiderdown
Flutter with Glee. Soar.
-----
Pillows become art
Dreamlike...seasonal magic,
Playful feathered bliss.

Charming piece! Good luck with your entries!
wow, how did I miss this. This is so good, it's like hope and nostalgia all wrapped up in one. Beautiful poem!
Oh Antoni this is beautiful. It's like laying on a cloud. Or wrapped in a warm soft blanket. I love how gentle this was to my minds ear. How humble the words. But how unique and directional this was. Unique in that your own personality and voice came through. Your energy could be felt and it's calming, accompanying your words. I love the link between the pillows and feathered bliss. The way you said joy cascades. I could see it falling as the time reaches it. Eiderdown a focus in a haiku I have not read until now. Extra points for that. Fantastic work. 🤗❤️
This is beautiful Antoni. You definitely have the structure of the haiku down to perfection. What I like about this is the movement and emotion of joy. You did an excellent job!
I learned what eiderdown is today. Loved your beautiful poem!
Lovely haiku… very cute image too.
So calming-now I want a nap
Delightful!
Pure perfection! Go gurl! 💪🏾🩷🧡🩷🧡
That is a fun poem, and I love the picture, perfectly described
What fun these two haikus were to read. Good job.
What a delightful and uplifting pair of haiku! Your imagery is so light and joyful. I can almost feel those "timely wisps" floating around me.
This poem is sheer delightful bliss. Just dreamy 🥰
Aw! So sweet. You stole my kiddie idea, Ha ha ha. This is great, i love the word eiderdown. Apparently the eider ducks donate them freely.
This was so dreamy and relaxing to read 😀
