Comment from Ella25

Exceptional

I imagined children playing at the lake, rope swinging, water splashing, having fun. What an excellent haiku story in such short words. Bravo. No, didn't need a supporting image as I pictured it all naturally. Beautiful. With love, Ella

You are always welcome, Karyn. It is beautiful indeed. Happy Spring Solstice, my friend. With love, Ella

Can you please check my last post "An Angel in Your Arms" and give me your thoughts. I tried my best to send a message in it but might be unclear. Thank you.

reply by the author on 20-Mar-2017

Ella, I'm so sorry, but with that very light print color in your Angel poem, I can't read the words. I don't have the best of eyes, and even had trouble enlarging the,words. I'm sorry.

No worries, my dear. If you wish I could send you via email as it would be easier to read. I would love your opinion. With love, Ella

Comment from Pantygynt

Excellent

It is definitely still fgar too cold here for anything like that but, yes when the weather gets warmer, a great deal warmer may be. To be fair I see that the theme here is summer so I will run my imagination alongside yours.

Thanks for your review for my summer haiku, Pantygynt. As it snows here in Indiana, it does the imagination good to think of warm summer days and flowers instead of snow.

Excellent

I believe that I can with the rope. It was a joy of childhood that I never let my parents know about since I knew that would be the end ;)

That was a great Haiku on summer.
"schools out" is always a grand declaration.
It stands well, without the photo. good job.

Comment from Bill O'Bier

Excellent

You've written a fun haiku. Yes, cannonballs are fun. The higher you jump before hitting the water, the faster you'll be traveling when you hit the water. The tighter ball you form with your body, the more like a sphere you'll be when you go kersplosh! As always, practice makes perfect. so get out there and make a splash.

Excellent

I like the human quality in this one. It will get my vote for the book. Clear imagery in your first two lines and a strong satori. I can see those kids playing at the lake
