A tribute to a sweet hedgehog that walks frequently by our home at dusk, on her way to the orchard…

Haiku (hedgehog)



Hedgehog trails fruit dreams
across a sleeping orchard.
~ Dusk gently prickled.

They are the most enchanting little creatures! You have captured their essence in so few words, exquisite.

Dear Xuxa,

I know that this form does not come easy for you yet, when it does come, you write it very well. Eleven words that tell an entire story, complete with pictures ... well done!

There must be a shrine nearby (built by the hedgehogs) in the honour of St. Alexandra. LOL :)

An EXCELLENT Haiku representation of the Hedgehog Alexandra. I absolutely adore hedgehogs. So glad to be back again and able to read your wonderful works once again!

conceptually unique haiku, vividly capturing the hedgehog heading across the orchard, as its sharp projections are gently superimposed upon the darker part of twilight ...

i know i just rehashed what you wrote but i simply couldn't help doing so since it captured my imagination so ...

excellent ku, Alexandria ...

Love your Haiku Ode, Alexandra, since, of course, I like hedgehogs, too!

Hedgehog, a betrayed lover that surrounded itself with spikes to fend any approximation?
It seems that there it goes, always with its face down to earth, like trying to find a place where hide it.
Even when prickled with dusk diamont morning drops.
More than exellent.
Georg

The artwork is so delightful, Alexandra, and you have captured the creeping fluidity of that snuffling cuteness with your sensitive and evocative syllables. Hedgehogs DO conjure scents of fruitfulness and autumnal twilight gloaming somehow. This is a beautifully rich ku. And, as always, I am bowled over by your words on my Hummingbird write. Your thoughtful comments always seem to outweigh the meaning and application of my work and to multiply it substantially. I am indebted. TY and bless you. Love, Kate xx
