Emerald hills rise
From the indigo channel
Soaring hunters pass
This is one of my first attempts at Haiku. Don't laugh please, at least not too harshly. I had reason to visit someone at a convalescent hospital overlooking a channel between islands. The wind coming from the sea hit the hill on which the Hospital perched and caused an updraft that local hawks used to soar on, round and round, back and forth, 'till the dove into the jungle and sometimes arose again with a small rodent in their claws. I have an alternate version written a few years later.
It gave me a very vivid mental picture. You should share more of your haiku
