This work has reached the exceptional level

Beautifully written for this compact piece. Your poetic format is of the traditional haiku style about nature. It has 5 syls for line 1, 7 syls for line 2, and 5 syls for line 3 meeting the overall 17 syllables count. Your poem is about a current observation of nature. Line 1 and line 2 tell a story that gives a superb imagery of the nests dangling below the palm fronds at the moment in time. A separate part of your story is the line 3, the brightening part of the nests, the mindfulness of this part is you used sensory word to express what is going on in the nests. Stunning imagery.

    Yes, I could tell because I have seen those palm fronds myself. Good luck.

    Those sparkly are for the nest and the chirps (that is mindfulness bit). I love birds too. Best.

Good Evening, Poet,

I enjoyed reading your well penned haiku this evening. You've surely captured a moment in time. I can see the slow swaying palm fonds. The satori is excellent.

Good luck to you in the contest.

Ray

A well-written haiku. The weaver is one of the busiest little birds I ever see. They are always working on their nests. The little ones never stop chirping and need constant feeding.

    Thanks for the encouraging review. I found about 100 weaver birds nests that just hang from the tree and I could hear them all inside, pretty cool. Cheers, j
