basic reviewing guidelines for folks who find it difficult =

--satori= the last line should give you an insight to the previous phrase (line 1 and 2)

--kigo=is a word that makes you think of one of the four seasons

--presentation= is it attractive? easy to read?

--grammatical connection= line one and two should flow smoothly and grammatically connected. A haiku should not read like a sentence. Haiku are not greeting cards.

--word economy= only words you need should be used without
sacrificing the meaning
