Very nice choice of words, and I loved it a lot. I could read it over and over. Very interesting, too. Good luck in the contest.

-Nice image and
presentation, Val.
-You have written a
good haiku with a
proper syllable count and form.
-The description of the hydrangea
paints a vivid word picture.
-The satori line is very
good, and creates a good 'aha' moment.
-Good luck in the contest.

I'm glad you haven't tried to constrain this in the straitjacket of the 5-7-5 format - an artificial restriction that only approximates the intention of the Japanese form. Your description brings a vivid picture to mind that is not dependent on the image accompanying it. One of the more enjoyable entries to the is contest that I have read. I wish you luck with it.

Thank you, I believe you have reviewed me before and we have the same feeling about haiku. I have been so saddened at what haiku has become on this site, but it makes me happy to hear someone out "there" gets it.
Comment from Cindy Warren
Who doesn't love hydrangeas? If I could have a real garden I'd have millions of them. I'm not an expert on haiku but I thought this was really sweet. Good luck in the contest.

Gorgeous wordplay. I love the comaparison of qualities that involve the sky and nature. Both beautiful and appropriate subjects that your haiku brings to life with a lively, vivid presentation of words and picture. Nicely done.
