Good example of a 5-7-5. It invokes great emotion and strength. Your words are inspiring and tender. Great work on this poem.

A meaningful message we all need to stop and realize. You picked the right person to help make this point. We often complain about what we don't have, what our life is not like instead of taking a look around and becoming grateful for the blessings we have. After we give thanks for what we have right now, then find a way to give it meaning, this could be a small as holding a door for a mother with kids and a arms full of groceries. I enjoyed reading this poem.

Wow... awesome. Life should be lived with great purpose so that the end will be good eventually. Your poem is a perfect 5-7-5 syllabic patterned work. I like the message

Average

A fine haiku... It is very true of life... It is kind of generic... the flow is okay... It doesn't really take the usual non biased tone that a haiku generally has...

Life is a blessing, but, not guaranteed. We must treat it with respect and have a purpose. Love and respect for all things is what our Creator has tight us through His words and teaching. Following this path will allow us to have a complete and fulfilling life.

You have composed an excellent contest entry and I wish you much luck,,,,,,,Jim

Thanks for a positive and detailed review. However, you missed the 6 syllables in the last line. Need to make changes. Hopefully, you will review again.

Needs Improvement

This seems to be a "pseudo-haiku". It is not a haiku because the last line is 6 syllables, not 5. Also it seems kind of generic. Would like to see some specific aspect addressed. When you work in abbreviated forms of poetry, you have to focus on specific aspects to be effective in general.
