True!
Cheers to uniqueness…!!!
Very nice for a start but you didn’t follow the normal 5, 7, 5, syllable count for haiku. Haiku has no punctuation or capital letters. Just remember for next time and don’t worry I did all of that when I started haiku.
As a three line poem it’s very good you said a lot in 3 lines it packs an emotional punch. Bravo!
I was told it was a Haiku by someone who has published a book of Haikus.
I never take anything at face value when someone tells me I look it up. If you look it up, or ask our class you’ll see for yourself. I made so many mistakes with haiku and still do it’s a very hard form and has more rules than even those mentioned in this class. Many people consider themselves haiku poets that can’t write it correctly and anyone can self publish a book now.
I am only trying to help no harm meant. This is a class I’m here to learn but if I can help I mean to do so. I want to be friends.
I gave your poem an honest critique and liked it. Does it matter that it’s a haiku or that it’s good? Looking forward to today’s write! Hugs!
Love it! Being unique is great!
I find that some haikus can be a little bit choppy and don’t flow very well, but yours sounded so natural. I really liked the simile at the end; it captured so many thoughts in so few words.
I like the sentiment in the poem.
That is absolutely outstanding!
