The Fisherman's Wife
I.
On the day you left,
seagulls screamed in loneliness
and winds howled your name.
II.
Light looks through windows
but finds instead sleeping cats
where your boots once lay.
III.
The room we slept in
creaks and murmers to itself
masking the silence.
IV.
By the glow of lamps,
fluttering moths watch the lane
for your silhouette.
V.
Once the sea's call fades,
perhaps you will return home
to lie by me again?

I'm glad you liked the light one. That was my favourite too

Overall I really like these. The mix of nature and feelings are great and most certainly in the spirit of haiku.

I really loved your haiku [link] for it's great imagery and the way it got the message across. Sorry I didn't have time to comment at the time

No worries, even though I critiqued that last one, really overall that series is awesome and evokes quite the feeling I think it is meant to.

At twilight, nature is not without loveliness, though perhaps its chief use is to illustrate quotations from the poets.
