This is a touching piece you've written about your son.
Its easy to read how fond you are of him and by all accounts, he turned out to be a young man whom you approve.
Well done, Happiotter

Your poem is in good 5/7/5 form - I'd advise you not to call it a haiku in your author's notes because of a variety of haiku rules - if you just call it a 5/7/5 then reviewers won't ding you for haiku rules :-)
I like the consonance of L sounds in life/swiftly/tall/deeply
and the observation you make about the nature of our children's lives moving past so fast :-) Brooke

I think you can claim success. It is a perfect haiku and very descriptive of what, by all accounts, is a remarkable young man. I am sure he will love it. Keep up the good work.

As the mother of four wonderful sons, I can certainly relate to this. They grow so fast. Treasure every moment. Very well written 5-7-5 poem.

Beautiful 5-7-5 tribute poem to your son.
Having four sons of my own, I must agree with you on how quickly they do grow up and become men.

A good write with imagery and needs edit. The poem has a tribute to your son theme and us Mothers love our sons. The colour and the words blend well together. I see no reason to change any of it. I enjoyed reading your poem. Mary

This is a lovely tribute to your son and I am so glad I did not pass this up because of being so unadorned. That is a bad habit of mine I am trying to break, I am getting better - hopefully. I have a grandson who is going through this not 16 yet, taller than his Dad bigger feet too and a voice that is getting down there. I enjoyed reading you today - Dinah

This is a beautiful haiku to your beloved son. I am sure he will appreciate this one and many more you will probably write. I enjoyed reading this well-structured piece.
