Comment from Ginnygray
PoemsofDD,
What a terrific and picturesque moment of reflection on a walk through the woods! I felt this one as I am prone to do just this to escape the hustle of "hurry and busy" to enjoy God's beauty and reflect on my thoughts of the day and my feelings!
Great Haiku!

Thank you so much again Ginnygray. I appreciate the shining six stars and your very encouraging comments on my haiku poem. I love the walks I take too. It?s so much more ?in the now? and therapeutic : -) ~DD
Comment from Joy Graham
Hi DD,
I like everything about your haiku. I'm still learning all the rules and only admire from afar. I don't have the desire to write one. Your picture sets the tone for your message. You describe the scene well in lines one and two. I can hear the silence disrupted by the crunching leaves under foot. This is a deep thinking aha moment. Well done. I think you have a strong entry for the contest.
Sincerely Joy xx

Comment from Pantygynt
This would be fine for a 5-7-5 but as a haiku it requires something more from that final satori line. As it stands the whole poem is a single statement whereas the the satori line of a haiku should be capable of standing alone although relating to the previous two lines. Several commentators outlaw "ing" words as gerunds. This one is not a gerund (used as an adjective) but is a present participle (part of a verb) nevertheless its presence fails to allow the line to stand alone. I would like to suggest that the satori line would be more powerful as a separate thought, the "Aha! I never thought of it that way". How about, "silent thought broken"? I don't see any point in taking a star off since, if you change it I shall only have to put it back again.

Comment from BermyBye50
Simply brilliant. A well written Haiku. Its both soothing and meditative all in one. and the artwork perfectly reflects the theme and message of the poem.
I especially like the the segment "...crunch beneath meditative steps"
All the best in the contest.

Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
This speaks about dry autumn leaves, a bit scary environment it makes at each step along leafy path sound breaks silence of thoughts; well worded, well done. Thank you for sharing this with us. Good luck with the contest. KEEP WRITING, INSPIRE CHANGING. DR ALCREATOR

Comment from Debbie Pope
I should have saved a six star for this poem. This is by far my favorite haiku even. Your perfect word selection and photo have me walking through those woods. I walk and think just as in your poem. Great job.

Comment from Pamusart
Nice poem and artwork. I did not see a credit for the art as normally shows for art selected from fanartreview. Is it yours! This is a good entry for the contest. Good luck in the contest. I determined that crunching leaves was a metaphor for distraction. Thank you for sharing

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I loved this Haiku, I can identify with these words, walking alone, thinking but hearing the crunch of the leaves under foot which gently breaks up thoughts and soothes, good luck with the contest, love Dolly x
