Comment from Curly Girly
Eesh.
I'm not sure if you are trying to be funny or clever, but this poem kind of asks for IT:
I want a review
To say more than pretty words
Tell me my true worth
Your haiku appears to meet the 5-7-5 criteria.
Usually, haiku writers don't use punctuation and they like everything to be in small letters.
Content: boring and provoking.
Are you waiting for somebody to tell you this is a pile of &*(&(*& so that you can retaliate?
Okay, so this is what annoys me about stupid HAIKU. One ends up writing a review longer than the simple words.
Was it worth reading?
No.
Why did I read it?
Desperate for member $!
Are you satisfied?
Best wishes in the contest--cheater. Your silly verse made me write more than you, lol!

You did well. Don't take my review seriously.
Haikus are annoying, but I must confess that I write some too--it's all about competition.
Good luck!
Comment from Hamiel
I like the picture and the invite from every words. Words used seems like a challenge to a reviewer how true they were to tell their points of view and observation to the author and his work. Good luck!

Comment from TAB_that's me
Okay, I'll tell you the truth then...I think you could use a better 'aha' moment or satori as is typical of a haiku/senryu.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Meia (MESAYERS)
The problem is, while I agree with your theory, the site is packed with very short works. This does not give the reader much to go on when writing a review. I try to pick out a passage that meant the most to me and explain why. Impossible with a poem so short. So there is a dilemma there but I do agree reviews of substance make the site a better place. I am chastised for my poems being too long to bother reviewing so it cuts both ways, often I suspect they have not been read at all...it's tough but that's the way it seems to be. Good luck in the contest kindest regards Meia.

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is so true. Double intendre on "my true worth" - as true worth as a writer and what it's worth in member dollars to a review cheat. It's spreading like epidemy on this site, and I was hoping this prompt will raise awareness to this.
Some reviewers take a page or longer to write an honest, analytical reviews. These reviews make us what we are as writers. But I am absolutely disgusted seeing a two line review to a work like a crown of heroic sonnets for example. This is just so plain. How do they get away with this? I hope conscience prickles them at least once in a while. This is pure cheating, and by stealing, some get to a top of reviewers' list. That's sad and pathetic. Site should do something about this.
A very good senryu which bring the point across. We need more like this so these thieves at least see themselves from the other end of the radar.

Words are meant to teach
They are also to befriend
To cheat on a review
Is to nor perform your best

Your true worth has no value. You speak with honesty and desire. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read.
