Dear Brooke, I know you know Margaret Snowdon...both of you are the most amazing poets! This little poem--did I say 'little'??? Sheesh! So not the right word to use and yet, they are little, being only three lines. But what they have to say!!

Margaret and I are good Fanstory friends, yes - one of my first real treats on this site was reading her novel. Thank you :-) Brooke

The imagery of this small poem is great. I love the butterflies that the milkweed sustains. Your stucture seemed good and the rhthym(?)worked well. I felt I was seeing the pods fall from the plant. Good job.

I enjoy how you used f's and s's in your haiku. It's another layer of enjoyment. That couldn't have been easy to do. The imagery is lovely. I have milkweed in my yard and your description is so apt. You make me want to try my hand at haiku again. :)

Hi,

I like the flow of your poem and the image it projects. I love the thought of new life bursting forth from the pods to create a new spring. Cheers

It's a good write....I never really know what to say about Haikus because it seems my review has to be longer than the poem. I like the cycle of live spreading forth and nice picture.

I know some people don't like haiku because they're so short, but I know how difficult it is to find the perfect words to make it all right and fit together. Your haiku is perfect, Brooke. The image is so lovely and your satori is wonderful.

I am really starting to appreciate your abilities as I learn as I go along. Good alliteration, internal rhyme, and assonance - every right word in the right place. And this is an amazing picture. Thanks for sharing.

Brooke....

Now this one is exceptional!

I grew up in the country and I remember chasing the fluffy silken seeds as the wind tossed them about. A nice little memory that was lost and now found.

Thank you for that! Carol C
