I like this fun haiku. I love grapes and champagne. I like the use of flute (glass). Good word choice in this one. Thanks so much for sharing and best wishes for the contest :) Lise

I really like this. All three lines are excellent in describing a nice glass of champagne. I especially like the second line, "effervescence in a flute." I'm not sure why someone would give you four stars for this (as it appears above your poem) because I think it is definitely a winner. It is one of my favorites in this contest so far. Connie

    thank you! I have recieved another exellent, but I belive one person did not think it was a "true haiku". he or she did not get the "spirit" of the "ode haiku" competion. but bless you for your review!

    Trust me when I tell you that you are probably not the only one who was told they did not write a "true haiku." Perhaps this contest should have been titled a "5-7-5 Ode".

--Hello! Normally, haiku center on some aspect of physical nature. Yours here is on man-made champagne. The ideal poem for the contest would be praising some aspect of environmental nature.
You did fulfill the 5-7-5 syllable count requirement, however. Good luck.
Bear in mind that this is not one of those write about anything haiku, but a typical one.

    sorry but this an "ode haiku", so i think the rules are "different". if you look carelfully at the entries, "ode to coffee is one. so not really sure where you are coming from.

    Ode to coffee is not a good entry either. Praise of physical nature should be the theme. Just trying to help.
