Great satori line. It is powerful and strong. Overall, nice presentation with artwork, fonts and colors. Good visual imagery created. Creative. Good alliteration with C and S words. Nice work.

The water seems not to move, and the viewer takes a moment to stop everything, but of course, it shows another example of how the natural world never stops causing us to focus our attention on something we have never seen before.

Hi Gypsy;
such a wonderful haiku about a time of reflection in the autumn outdoors. I love the picture you chose. The syllable count was spot on, and the meaning in the words was deeply moving,

G'day mate.

I hope you are feeling better.

This is a beauty. Both the picture and the colorful and vividly picturesque words.

You are by far the best at these on this site and I'm sorry that I don't have a six left to give you.

Great job.

Cheers Fez

I enjoyed your lovely Haiku.
It presents a beautiful scene and love the
double meaning of "reflection" as the last line
uses it "stream of thought"

That's an interesting juxtaposition. Water and thoughts. Both flow, after all. Both can be colorful. Both can move fast or slow. Your poem invites repeat reading. It's a nice little gem of thought. Good show.

In my opinion, beautiful artistry, both in the poem and complementary image. While it is beautiful in structure, it doesn't appear to fully comply with the haiku form. The last line has only 3 syllables - adding 2 words, or one 2 syllable word will correct this - for example, " is bound," or " evokes"...

    Hello, Eve, Japanese and English syllables are different so the 5/7/5 doesn't always apply, it just has to be 17 syllables or less.
    thank you very much, I appreciate your excellent review and kind words

'Tis the season for autumn poems. It is a beautiful time of year. My only suggestion is to find a picture that features a natural stream to work with your last line. The chosen picture looks more like a man-made body of water. It still fits, but if you can get a better picture, I would. Thanks for sharing your seasonal poem.
