Exceptional

This is smooth and carries the reader forward with a smile at the end. It is still a kigo to me for apples are on the trees in fall. You have such a way with sentence structure. "Roots ground in darkness". Nice one, friend.

Teresa, this appeals to me. As we farm fruit trees, I can so identify with this lovely haiku. The satori line I liked a lot. Indeed it take a good and healthy rooting for a tree to produce. Well done. All the best. Ulla:)))

I thought when it shows four eights that there should be four lines. Yet there are only three. Also that each of the four lines should show words of eight. I'm getting old and forgetful I guess. Sorry.

Within a few words
you have told us so much
our lives can be saddened
When sunlight arrives
we change to look forward
for a special day in everyway.

Hi Teresa, this is a very good haiku. Good personification of the apple tree - love the second line referring to the branches as arms. Line three is a good satori. Well done - warm rgards Dorothy x

Interesting write here I like the analogy of the growing apple tree and the way you have personified it. To be candid I am not too fussed on haiku but this one I liked

thanks for sharing

You captured a somber but hopeful mood in this 5-7-4 haiku. I like your selection of the cursive font and interpretation of the prompt. Smiles- Joan, from Denali National Park

The apple rolls seeking its own path because each is different. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words making for a very good read. There is very good imagery

Oh nicely done double meaning. Two lines of imagery that gives us the picture of a tree and the apple relates to fall so you have your season. Also the person solid in life, reaching to the sky and life rolling on.
