I liked these words very much.

I love green grapes and could eat them all day.

They are great for a laxative as well.

I love having a glass of white wine.

I really liked the way this was written.

You do an excellent job in this piece of creating a great visual image. I like the contrast of the green grapes on the pure white Wedgwood. Made me thirsty :)

This haiku sure does deserve to win "All time best" award. It also deserves a "6" which I am out of thanks to Fan Story's stinginess with them. What a vivid, striking image, and so elegant. Just wonderful.

You have made the reviewer's task harder by giving your own review in the notes!
The contrast of the colours here helps make this a strong haiku. Good luck in the contest.

    Well, thanks. I wanted my haiku to be appreciated. Those Author Notes were meant to help the 'uninformed and uninitiated'.

Love those grapes! Forget the wine, I'll take mine in the fresh fruit instead. I can picture the grapes on the white plate. Great Haiku! V.A.

    Thanks, Angel. I agree with you. The fresh fruit on a white plate are delicious in themselves.

A good 5-7-5 here and not a bad entry in a very fierce contest here old chap.
The syllable count is spot-on and I wish you luck in the contest here.
Well done.
Why do we not see more of your writing posted here???

    I don't have a credit card or a paypal account. That's why.

    Just review and earn dollars to submit that is what I do. I review until I have enough to post, and then review more after the ost to raise the poem.

    That's what I am doing. But I can't post more of my stuff, unless I subscribe at least with a $7 subscription for a month.

While I thoroughly enjoyed your 5-7-5, I enjoyed it even more
after reading your author's notes and seeing how you organized this
with the very fine grapes on the very fine tableware. Your third line,
"Sauvignon vintage," sums it all up. Very nice! Connie

This is a nice 5/7/5 poem. To my knowledge, though, it is not Haiku - which is fine because the contest isn't asking for Haiku. Haiku is strictly nature. I was once told that if something is about man or is of man, it cannot be used in Haiku (Wedgewood Plates are of man)
Still you did a great job with creating a visual image with your words - That IS in the spirit of good Haiku.

    Thanks, Rose. I didn't know they were so strict about haikus.

    I didn't think I would EVER 'get' Haihu. They're only 17 syllables, but the rules would fill a book. 5/7/5 is much safer, in that there are no rules. Just line 1 5 syllables line 2 - 7, line 3 - 5.
    Haiku - nows that's a different story. :o) Rose.

    Thanks. Still, they shouldn't be so strict about haikus. I mean there is a bit of nature in my 5-7-5. It's the grapes and the vintage.
reply by Just2Write on 06-Jul-2011
    You will not be penalized - Don't worry - The contest calls for a 5/7/5 Poem - Not a Haiku. If the contest were asking for Haiku, then the rules for Haiku would apply. These are not set by the site. Haiku rules are attached to the that form of poetry.
