Nice and bright Val. Good imagery. Came to this by chance. Always nice to read something bright and pleasing to the soul when all else seem so heavy at this time.
Have a great day.
My best wishes.

Thank you for such a lovely review
Comment from Robert Trudel
Nicely done. Haiku rules followed. I especially like the scarecrow idea. Great image. The Scarecrow probably also has a pumpkin for a head. An image of fun.

I really like this haiku. Somehow the last line really delivers. Something about the last line of a Haiku is really crucial. It has an element of surprise. Your poem accomplishes this. Very nice work Val.

This exceptional means a great deal to me. Thank you. Also, you are correct the satori line or last line of haiku should hold and element of surprise or observation.

Val--congrats on your prize for this elegant piece--with a charming touch of whimsy as to the scarecrow watching the pumpkins grow. Glad I caught up to this. Cheers. LIZ

This poem is a succinct description of a pumpkin field. It also reminds us what we do with ripe pumpkins during the holiday season.
Congrats on the second plact finish in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Is there any other color of pumpkins? Yes, I know there are but not the same as an orange one. Loved the last line "scarecrow watches". Nice touch.

Your contest entry reads well, Great job with the style of haiku. I like the image though your well chosen words paint their own. The color scheme is great, too.
Best wishes in the contest.
Respectfully, Jan

Thank you for the review, and appreciate you understanding of haiku.

Lovely photo. It tempts the reader to look for the scarecrow. Words more the adequately complement the photos. I have to get used to non-traditional Haiku. Ingrained in my brain 5-7-5, a season, etc.

I know 5/7/5 is out dated, but yet it still works sometimes. Thanks for the review

America is getting away from traditional Hiaku.
Comment from Sherry Asbury
I am a big haiku fan and find some failing the test. However, not in this case. I love the body of words...your form is perfect and you have tied it in with a lovely picture. This is one of the better ones I have read lately and I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Thank you so much for all of these lovely words. I agree with you haiku on this site pretty much "sucks" I can't even recognize the form. I could go on and on, but I will spare you.
