daylight lingers
drone of a jet passing
into silence

I like your poem, but did I miss something? I thought Haiku was 5-7-5, but maybe I am wrong. Anyway your poem is nice
poems and writings: Contemporary haiku is written in a variety of forms. Most commonly, a 3-line format with a maximum of 17 syllables, but other options exist. Classical Japanese haiku also admitted of variations. They were normally written as a single line within which Japanese readers would recognize three segments, consisting of 5, 7, and 5 onji. An "on" (the singular of "onji") is unlike an English syllable in that all are of the same, short length. Thus, as an utterance a 17-onji Japanese haiku is significantly shorter than a 17-syllable English haiku. Thanks for your visit, your comment, and your interest.
I thought that, as I grew older, I would no longer gaze up at vapour trails and sparkling jets. I still do. Once again your words have given me solace. Cheers
Bill, based on your last comment at my site I have posted a piece with a more comical tone. Therefore, I hope you will stop by and take a look. If you like it, feel free to comment -- as always!
Have a nice weekend!
anon: I'll be dropping in soon. And I'll give you some feedback on the haiku you left here recently.
Sarah: Thanks so much for your visit and your comment.
Thanks, Car Gal. Come back soon.
