I really enjoyed reading your 5-7-5 poem. The image selection is calming yet striking.
Very nicely written.

I could see the avocet hiding in the shadows in my imagination.
Best of luck in the contest.

The illustration certainly enhances the poem. In accordance with the
traditional Haiku, the image is nature related and leaves a clear image for the reader;

This poem follows the rules of the 5-7-5 contest correctly and has a sort of wistful feel to it. I like it but, to me, it reads a bit odd without the definite articles before 'tide' and 'shadows' . I know that you have left them out to make the syllable count correct but I do think that it makes the poem sound a bit odd.
Good luck with it

I also enjoyed reading this piece. The picture complements well the message intended by the author for the readers. It complied with the syllabification requirements of a 575 poetry. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely presentation. Great imagery of the light gliding in on the tide. The picture illustrates that, too. The rhyme of glides and tide is excellent bonus. Last line is very colorful and descript of the tree. Best of luck in the contest. judi

What a beautiful scene set for the poem to produce something wonderful in its language rich declaration. The artwork probably wasn't necessary, but a great embellishment irrespective, well done Crystie, blessings Roy

You did a good job using alliterative effects and rhyme effects working in this haiku rhythm and balance to create the music here. Also a really strong nature image of the lacy tree. It's very surreal and dream like, abstract enough to invite multiple interpretations. estory

Chrystie,

Nice overall presentation for this contest entry in my favored poem format. I even know your avocet, which is not typically found in animal picture books (-;

Mark

P.S. I favor centered text lines except for left-aligned Lune poems.

This 5-7-5, Light Glides in on Tide, has the proper formatting and finds the dawn greeting the shadowy shore. The birds seem to wait to be discovered.
