good luck with the contest

your few words portray the rapid can access any place to cross
good use "S" "C consonance
good use "E" assonance

flows easy read

Wow I love this....crossing from here to inaccessible there
Wouldn't that be fun if crossing to the other side was like kayaking white water ....that is so much fun
God bless

stunning presentation of your poem, which is in good haiku structure
I like the flow the multi-syllable "inaccessible" provides
it is also a strong descriptive word so appropriate to this scene
good alliteration in white water and consonance of hard C sounds in crossing/inaccessible
you create a dramatic scene with good sensory and emotional appeal Brooke

G'day Anon. Whilst I am not a big fan of these little pieces of poetry, from time to time one just jumps up and grabs me and this is one of them. This is a very good entry and I wish you luck in it. Cheers Fez

I might not guess a bridge was involved without the picture, since canoeing is a big thing around here. Don't let the judges read this review. I like the picture, and with
it it's a good post.

Excellent colour and picture presentation, though maybe 'edit' to reduce the gap after last line which will centralise the words more.

I really like this message of positivity - if we are daring enough, and the last line sums the theme up so well, in that it's often not easy to take those steps for fear of a fall.

Top entry.

Good luck and best wishes, Ray

Wow. That is so poetic in such a short piece. It reads like butter melting ina skillet!! Thought provoking and certainly stand alone. That said, what a great imsge to enhance the words. This is the winner in my eyes.

Wow! I can certainly understand why they put a bridge there in that location. Holy smokes, getting across that spans of water with anything in tow would be absolutely out of the question.

Your haiku is nicely done, and very well presented.

Best of luck in the contest. ~Dean

Wow, that's concrete imagery, alright! Those rapids scare the hell out of me. I did it once...I'm never sure about these haiku but this one did it for me!
