Comment from Ric Myworld

Excellent

Since I've starting reading haiku and other short poems I have become more and more impressed with how these poems of so few words can say so much. Great job. :-)

Thanks, Ric.
You should join the club, you would learn a lot about haiku writing.
Besides, it's fun to talk to Robyn Corum, Chrissy710, Gypsy Blue Rose, Rasmine, Cumulus...and several others live and in person.
Thanks for your review.

Thank you, Dean, for your thoughtful and generous invite. I would enjoy learning and being a part of all the haiku fun. Unfortunately, right now I can't even stay on top of my responsibilities with basketball, track, and this darn cast that has me using the off-handed hunt-and-peck-system to keep up with reviews. I greatly appreciate the invite, and hopefully I won't miss out completely by getting to read all the other fine haiku poems. Thanks for the smile!

Hi Dean,

You have done it again and written a very nice haiku poem. I don't think I've ever tried writing one but since Jesus and God poetry is the kind I like to write the most it's what I will continue doing.

Okay, no need to broaden or expand your horizons to become well rounded or a better poet, right?
You just keep doing your thing, MizKat.
It's not like you wanna be published or anything, right?
Thanks for your review.

I will keep doing my thing because I love writing spiritual poetry. Kat

reply by the author on 12-Feb-2017

Haiku IS spiritual poetry.
God is everywhere, in ALL living things.
Not just in Heaven...with all due respect.

reply by MizKat on 12-Feb-2017

I didn't know that much about haiku poetry. Now forgetfulness has started to take over so I remember a lot less than before. I know God is everywhere.
Isn't that wonderful?

reply by the author on 12-Feb-2017

I think so.

reply by MizKat on 12-Feb-2017

I told you I don't remember things that well anymore so I don't know what you meant by saying "I think so". Sorry. Kat

reply by the author on 12-Feb-2017

You said, "Isn't that wonderful?"
to which I replied "I think so.", meaning, I believe it is wonderful.

Thanks for letting me know. Kat

Greetings, Dean;
-seems like this "Bone House Wasp is quite a character as an insect goes. How they devour the legs off of spiders and create little special areas of rooms in their nest for and that emit chemicals to keep away invaders of the nest. She thinks of everything. I just wonder how her husband puts up with it. Chuckle!
-Great picture for this haiku very relative and supported to the conceptual theme and context.
-The satori is very eerily presented in office an excellent aha moment to this haiku and also substantiates or summarizes the relativity of the conceptual theme.
-Again you useful alliteration add to the smoothness of your first two lines that are grammatically connected and offer a very descriptive and expressive imagery to this haiku.
-Thanks for the delightful haiku and reading and take care and have a good one.
Alex

A suitably eerie haiku for a suitably gory wasp. The who thing sounds gross but well written, if I had any real clue what I'm looking at. Evi

Very interesting and informative. I guess that the description as being 'wicked"
applies to the attribution towards the wasps' behaviors in the biological process
of death/life and not to any kind of moral judgement.And it is an attractive adjective, because of the sonorous sound with wasp.

This new species of wasps sounds horrible. I just saw an article about bees becoming extinct. Now, we're getting horrible wasps. Not at all good, but your poem is very good.
