The opening line sets the theme while the unexpected yet "lovely" last line effectively enhances the "hai" aspect of the haiku. And the image of moving from sun patch to sun patch makes this dog haiku visually appealing.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. This is a beautiful poem. For me, there is also a very subtle but powerful "Southern" feeling in this piece.
