Wow, you did it again, Mikey - congratulations (and I can certainly see why - this is fabulous!) I especially loved the horror of that satori - too true!!!

Your haiku makes a powerful statement. The picture is great. Your few words sum up so much about our current state of affairs in the world. Good job. Congrats on your win.

Congratulations Mikey

A great social statement in so few words. Excellent 'e' assonance and 'r' consonance. -- gives a stronger cadence to your poem when read aloud. Please you enjoyed a win ... even though you had to share the dollars with June. :)))
Warm Regards - Lovi xoxox

The line "man's red tide" just blew me away...such wonderful imagery and deep description. Ocean currents, underneath it all, takes such a deadly term.

This haiku paints a picture on a deeper level. Man is the most dangerous pestilence of all. And there's is no end to the storms, all blowing in war.

I think this poem will float. Good photo and good wording. Meets the requirements and probably will win. Well done. Shalom.

That's an angry tide and I'd be pooping myself if I was on that boat so it's a good thing I'm not. Great job and good luck in the contest

What a spectacular painting you've chosen. It really enhances the theme of the haiku. However, the poem does stand alone very well. Good satori.

Good luck.

An excellent haiku mystery writer. Your strong descriptors support an excellent satori. "war/red tide" gives the reader an excellent image. Best wishes in the voting. rj
