"Spring Swallows Under the Bridge"
Nosedive flight from nest
muddied on the underpass
wet with golden moon
Night sky blackens wings
plunging quill in deepest ink
up from shadowed grave
Trove in whittled beak
Mother Swallow never sleeps
godsend under keep
Ok, My First Attempt at Haiku (I think I cheated a bit)

"Freedom is what you do with what's been done to you."
Dunno where you cheated or how...so it must have worked.
I like the renga kind, and I love the imagery here. I'm a sucker for seasonal descriptions. They're thick but not too thick, you know?
Reminds me of a poem I had done a while back, can't remember it now, so memorable I lost it, something to do with autumn.

Cynical joke time:
What do you call a cheater who doesn't get caught? A winner.
