you´re coming at ten
I begin to be happy
completely tamed

the star in the sky
I´m beginning to be sad
but it is my friend

Haiku's are not meant to relate to each other, and these two seem to fit that norm. Each stands poignantly alone.

More "Solitude and lonliness"?
you are such a gem!

As I remember, Sandra, somewhere in a haiku there is meant to be a reference to a "season".

the star in the sky
I´m beginning to be sad
but it is my friend

For example, it could be something like;

the star in the sky
my winter sadness rising
but it is my friend


I'm impressed that a Spanish speaking person is writing a Japanese form of poetry, in English Great stuff!

mmm yes mat you are right and I appreciate very much the critic...thank you ! I did that too quicly.....

Sandra~

The second Haiku was added later, right? (please say, yes)

This is too funny. When I first read the original piece, I read it as someone's age being, 10. Isn't that a hoot? I was thinking a child you were fond of was on the way...

10. A time. NOW, I get it

The only 'critical' comment I have is that there are two "the"(s) in the first line of haiku2. That could easily be reduced with a little tweaking and maybe be a way to add meaning to the piece.
Just my 2cents.

thanks for sharing,
Laurie

.......yes Laurie, ...that is so funny!! thanks for your comment...

Of course, the reference to a season can be oblique/indirect.
eg:

you'r coming at ten
I blossom to happiness
completely tamed


the only reference to a season being, "blossom" and therefore "spring".


Haiku's are fun!

Oh..........I like that mat!! blossom.....
