I don't usually get much out of haikus. I think they must lose something moving to English. However this is a great one. He never paints two of the same.

Your poem fits perfectly the constraints perfectly of haiku poetry with satori and title and other constraints admirably. Good luck in the contest, Michael

I don't usually review Asian poetry because I think it's dumb but this is just beautiful. Killer presentation. It's not very long but I read it three times already. Would that the masses write like you. I would read more. Very well done.

Your presentation is beautiful. I love the picture. Good job on the syllable count and the alliteration with swirling sunset.

No changes. Good luck in the contest.

I love the picture. I love the poem. The sunset does look like some one washed out a well used brush. The colors melt together in a eye popping array. It is all of God's colors in one display. Great work.

Using the paint brush and swirling water to create the sunset of beautiful motion is wonderful.
Well done.
