Comment from Frank Malley
Haiku can be designed with different syllable formats. The 17 syllable seems the most used, but in "Cumulus Clouds," Shelley Kaye uses a 3-line form using 4, 5, and 4 syllables. I'm no expert on haiku, but I have few comments mainly having to do with the sound of her word choices; my suggestions reflect my own preferences for sounds and are not the basis for the excellent review I give this poem.
Line 1 sets the topic; it's fine.
For line 2, I like 'Float 'tween Earth and Sun.' However, it uses an apostrophe, which may be discouraged by haiku form. I liked 'Floats 'tween Earth and her star' even more, but it's six syllables. 'Glides beneath Earth's star' again has an apostrophe. Nothing I found was just right.
I feel that neither pronunciation of 'respite' works well, and besides the word has an academic ring to it that introduces cleverness in a poem that reveres nature. 'Shady haven,' perhaps, or Shady sanctum.'

Comment from June Sargent
A very creative haiku capturing the moment a cloud offers some temporary shade from the hot sun. Artwork complements this perfectly. Should do well in the contest.

Haha - I liked your cute line in the notes section that went well with the poem you have presented. I enjoyed the alliteration in your short, short. That image you chose is amazing - a feast for the eyes. Regards, Lilly

I loved the depiction of the clouds as a bright day star. What a wonderfully exciting imagination, but I believe I may have told you that already. :) A wonderful contest entry. Best, JohnC

I had to give that one a second shot, but finally got it straight in my head. I like the oblique reference to the sun. You should do okay in the contest.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
What a wonderful way to start a poem, cumulus clouds sound so alliterative and fun to say out loud. As well as breeze by brightly is fun to say and read. The beautiful picture is dazzling in its simplicity.
Thanks for sharing such a bright and simple haiku.

Author,
Congratulations on your all time best award. It is well deserved.
I remember as a child, I would wait for the clouds to cover the hot sun, so I could get respite from the sizzling heat.
Good luck with this and all your
work.
Blessings,
Cindy
