Haiku/Senryu / rising sun.
Green and yellow hues.
A trout jumps; A bear catches.
The world’s senses peak.

I like the traditional haiku far more. I really like the imagery invoked in this piece, but I try to stay away from the use of the word ‘and.’ I know it is hard, but I feel that it is a wasted syllable in such a limited form.
Same with the double-usage of the word “A,” in the second line, and “the” in the last line.
Other than that, I absolutely love the haiku.

This really describes an outdoor morning.
The sensory is quite immense.
Overall, this piece is excellent.
Wouldn’t change a thing. Nice work, keep it up.
The title is perfect for this. Clear and perfect. Really good picture. I feel as if I visited Alaska. Good job.
A very clear and descriptive piece. Strong imagery. I can even see the crystal clear water! L1 and L2 set the scene well, but L3, while strong, I don’t quite get what you’re saying with ‘senses peak’. L2 is I think a good example of when to be different. The ‘A trout….A bear’ repetition…just works. Nice. I scored you 8 overall.
Nice Haiku you have
Only the bear does not fit.
Ending was sublime
There, my first attempt at a haiku in probably eight years. My only nitpick with this is I didn’t think the trout/bear line quiet fit if it was your goal to connect to the seasons (I am assume you chose spring?). Unless you are refering spring migration upstream, which I guess would then make sense. So nevermind all that.
Last line was a good ending, with poignant word choice. Bravo.
Hi, this really is a very descriptive Haiku and very well rounded. I also enjoyed that it’s different in it’s subject line.
As far as critiquing your Haiku, the only thing I would say is to ‘remove’ all of the caps from your words. In true Haiku form the only caps are ‘proper nouns.’I noticed this in the ‘Simply Haiku Quarterly Journal’, as I was reading it.
Really could see this poem, just wonderful.
Take Care.
