A very nice Haiku. I like it very much. The words match the image very well. But even without the picture, the poem itself stands out. A real joy to read this one.

Comment from Katherine M. (k-11)
This is an extremely timely poem considering yesterday's flash-in-the-pan heatwave in Europe and England. Boy did we suffer! This morning the temperature has dropped amazingly - we feel as though we are on a roller coaster. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Katherine. I really appreciate the review and comments. We got a short break from the dangerous hear wave yesterday as well.

Comment from LisaMay
Your poem depicts very clearly and effectively how the poor old earth is feeling parched and baked dry, with the crickets becoming upset. The seasons are becoming unpredictable.
I wish I could take some of your excessive heat and put it here where it is winter!

Thank you, Lisa, I would like to take some of that excessive rain like they have had in Yellowstone and move a little of it into my yard.

Comment from Lilly Flowers
I live in the part of the country that gets steaming every summer, but the older I get, the harder it is to deal with so I stay inside.
What a terrific, eye-catching image and you chose fantastic words to go with it. Regards, Lilly

Thank you Lilly for a great review. We are under a excessive heat advisory and I'm staying inside.

Comment from lyenochka
I see all the elements of haiku in your poem from the summer seasonal reference to the satori of the crickets sounding the alarm. And I have heard of record temperatures around the country. Here the heater still goes on at night.
Best wishes in the contest!

Thank you Helen. I'm not a haiku writer so I'm relieved when someone who writes them tells me I did it correctly.

Comment from June Sargent
I know there are parts of the country that is suffering some severe heat waves. I hope you will all get a break soon! It can be so dangerous to wildlife as well as humans. Crickets sounding the alarm - great imagery. Well done.

Comment from Wendy G
Yes, we are well used to such a combination over here in Australia. Great presentation, and your words are just right for that feeling if drought and desperate need for water.

Thank you, again for the review. We are under a heat warning here. We aren't used to it being this hot in June in Chattanooga.

Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Good haiku and good packaging. The font is large and easy to read. I like that the font has a color that coordinates with the visual. I think it is good the text is centered on the large visual because it makes the text more focal. The visual fits well with the poem. Well-done! Good luck in the contest.
