The series is a wonderful bundle of haiku
I too was thrown off by the syllable count, not that they matter in modern haiku so long as you do not go over a total of 17 syllables. But, each one uses different counts and a few are traditional. FYI, if you need it MarieClaire, L1 has 5 syllables; L2 has 7 syllables, and L3 has 5 syllables:
My favorite used to be from a winter in New Hampshire:
black web against sky
naked winter branches criss-cross
my natural trap

Mon Dieu, C'est tres bien! Very nice indeed!
After having read your previous post (by the way, thank you so much again!) I can see what you are having trouble with. (I think) You are writing the haiku in French and then translating it. Cause these new haiku are great, but the syllable count is off again. But in French, your others were perfect! I am really glad to see you writing these! Keep it up! I'm going to bed!
