Comment from Cranial Thinker

Exceptional

Such a worthy sum of mathematical divine equations spoken that stands as an inclusive reminder of just how really everything is in this place we call Earth/Home because life from a true spiritual point of view can be expressed in the very same light, choosing to do right when wrong would yield
everything your hearts desire and then some the pressure comes when the choice is made to follow the path that is elevated in mindfulness and forged in pure sweat/blood no matter what....Again a most wonderful write my Brother Badger....Cranial Thinker

Good new year's eve, Darren,

[[[ forming very slow great heat and pressure below there, a diamond grows ]]]

You have a great thing going. Good concrete imagery and theme. The syntax is a bit confusing and it kind of rhymes ... haiku don't rhyme... LoL made me think of dead men don't dance ... what?

......... try to avoid rhyming.

you could try something like this... but it's your baby and I am just a reviewer. :)

slow growth under
great heat and pressure --
diamond in the rough

You are certainly enjoying these 3 line poems Badger It virtually sums up how a diamond is formed. Nice photo of a diamond heart.

I don't review haikus unless they really stand out so please bear with me. I like this one especially because it not only refers to diamonds and the earth and time, it also applies to humans being forged and taught till they are formed.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read and review. I really appreciate your comments, and it is a distinct pleasure to know that my multi-level metaphors are not only being understood, but many of their "facets" are more clearly revealed to me through your attentive and creative insight. Thanks and Have a very Happy New Year. Darren

This is a great haiku and for the diamond to be formed because of heat and pressure is a lot like our lives, we are being made strong and beautiful by the trials we go through. Nicely done. Patricia

A very well-written haiku. Diamonds are formed with extreme heat and pressure deep down inside the earth.

A prosperous new year for you and your family
