Yes, Enoo, that's fine! We're so glad to have you here!We have begun to post some haiku that are not a part of the "Haiku Game."
It's good you showed the haiku that inspired you. [BTW, if ever you are aware your haiku is in a different order from the "Haiku Game," please post it anyway--if you put it in italics, everyone will know you are adding an independent haiku.] And don't worry too much about it. As you can see previously, I posted a haiku completely out-of-order, possibly because of failing to read the next page!

@ hi Frankie
butterflies
messengers of better days
frolicking playfully -
Hi, amaryn!
Frolicking playfully
Brown over red over gold
Leaves on the sidewalk -
leaves on the sidewalk
frozen puddles
the curlew calls
-
the curlew calls
gracefully stepping ahead
on a riverbank
-
...speaking of curlews, their onomatopoeic Finnish name (kuovi) is almost beautiful; we used to imitate them as kids. I don't think we ever saw them before mid-April though...

@Frankie Jasmine: thank you for your nice and welcoming words, they warm my heart
Yes, next time I'll do as you suggest
on a riverbank
I thought I glimpsed my past
but it ran awayEven after all this time
The Sun never says to the Earth
« You owe me »
Look what happens with a love like that
It lights the whole sky
-حافظ -
it ran away
like a shy little princess
hides from a cloud
-
Hide from a cloud
Avoid always its shadow; soon
You will thirst. -
you will thirst,
great suffering will waylay you;
this, too, shall pass
-
This too shall pass,
A moments happiness -
anguished tears, gone
-
anguished tears, gone
gone, too, the exalted bliss
silence remains
-
Silence remains
Where little voices once rang;
Growing old. -
Growing old
slender branches gnarled
fallen leaves
-
fallen leaves
engulfed in green
hope springs

I like them when there's something to like. If I don't, don't you mind; you're in brilliant company. Out of the 100 greatest English language poems of the 20th century, I would probably like something like 5-10.
