glad you could join us john and good to see you have been getting away from the computer - great shot with the water dripping from the beak btw
beautiful
I really like the haiku (though I wonder about the effect of using 'a' perhaps instead of 'the' before swan)
Again as with a number of photo-haiga I find that the picture (which I like very much too) and the haiku are too close to each other for my own 'haikai' senses - we see the picture and get a haiku almost directly about it rather than a linkage or a taking us on somewhere that each alone doesn't.
Gerald's pub haiku with the swan picture that was posted after this of yoours John - does work via linkage -
These are only my thoughts and I still enjoyed the piece.
Thank you John for joining us, for giving us a swan in spring - I fear for them this year with the threat of avian flu - I understand swans are very prone to it.

an enjoyable haiga and a pleasure to find you here.
Fine photo-haiga. The ku can stand on its own.

Good shot of the swan, font, and the text, all come together.
Look forward to more from you when you can.
There's nought wrong with swanning around, as you'd know if you can ever come to Bradford-on-Avon.
Would love to come over to wonderful Liverpool as well of course! (-;
John,
The best linking works are all based in experience.
One verse or image or even sound sparking a link to some experience stirred by active exposure to them.
I hope that you don't feel haiku are not born from some creativity although I'm not one myself for the term 'creative art' or 'decorative art' etc - just art - yes - i'm ok with that - art.
