White clouds stripe the sky as a jet skis beneath them, schussin snow swept peaks.

G'day Ace,
Haiku, the poet writes about a moment that defines some emotion, and the poem pulls the reader into that moment.
Quote: Lonnie Hull Dupont.
Well, your poem certainly does that
White clouds stripe the sky as a jet skies beneath them, heading o'er mountains.
A vivid picture.
Excellent.
John

Hi Ace, Isn't it fun to watch nature? I love it myself! I can't say that I understand Haiku enough to be useful, however, I thought I'd toss out an idea to add that 'nature' element I believe it needs: dusting (or painting) snow-capped hills. Or something along those lines (or for Spring maybe something about peeping blossoms)? Enjoyed! ~Cleo

Hi Ace,
Nah, I don't think 'shussing' sounds right.
I'll have to give it some thought.

Hi Ace,
Not sure about 'shushing' - how about 'skimming' snow-capped hills?

Very nice Ace! I think it is a haiku since you make reference now to "winter" with snow. Lovely! ~Cleo

Hi ace,
This is indeed a lovely Haiku. But I confess to not knowing what you mean by 'Schussin'. Or have I missed something?

G'day Ross,
Dunno, about in mixing different laguages in haiku.
Haiku's, tend to have a sense of mystery coupled with a purity of language.
For instance you wouldn't find any French words in a Japanese haiku.
It may be an idea to stick to English.
Regards,
John
