Wow, I liked the way you wove your verses through all the stages of life, especially the unborn listening to songs in the womb! See you exercised your poetic right(And all those who nitpick for correctness can kiss your Irish ass) to express an idea rather than an ideology. Great! As much as I enjoy and appreciate the genius of Mozart, Bach, Bethoven, I believe the music of the Angelic Choir will flow through us and bring elation to our hearts and joy to our souls.

    Dear Irish, thank you for your glowing review. Your generosity with the Stars is supported by your detailed description of how you perceived it to be. I thought the beginning was good myself. More to come thanks again.

This really moves me emotionally. In my book Be Wee With Bea she sees how nature sings a song and she dances to the stones tinkling as they are carried with the stream. That spirit of nature enters us and is passed on by the nature of our own mothers. This is a beautiful tribute to the musical journey of your friend. Well expressed.

A thought-filled reflection on the music of life in this suite of haikus! I like how you take us from birth to flying to heaven and the process of learning to love others and ourselves in between.

One haiku was more than the typical 5-7-5 - it has 5-7-7-5:
"the tune starts early
nestled in your mother's womb;
she hums and sings melodies
you are comforted"

I really enjoyed this suite of haikus, badger 29. It was an impressive effort how they all flowed together with a common theme. Very unique. Good job and keep up the good work.

I enjoyed the extended haiku pattern which enhanced the rhythm of the poem. It had a cheery mood and tone. Interesting word choices made this fun to read.

    Thanks Melissi, t's always a pleasure to meet and associate with new people here. I have written extensively published a book, and I utilize the Haiku because it forces me to focus a lot of thoughts into a small area.
    Again, a pleasure to become acquainted with you here .

    Blessings,
