Dawn, noon and night...you managed to cover all of them in this Haiku based poem! I did not know that we could stack more than one Haiku together for the contest! But yours makes perfect sense as it is and I wish you the best for the contest! Have a great day :-)

    Thanks for reveiwing. I am not sure about the stacked haikus for the contest either. But I have seen it done before. So I thought I'd give it a try.

Your haiku suite is creatively composed and lovely. You have wrapped your nature theme in an appealing blend of metaphor and personification.
I especially like line 1.

I really enjoyed you entry for the Haiku Poetry Contest. The first one really captured that perfect few moments of dawn. All were very visual and beautiful. Good luck in the contest.

Nice progression of haiku - the last stanza has a glitch - you'll probably find it. I like the dusty mauve of dawn. Many summer days, that's a lovely sight. I'm eager for spring now to see the sun turn the sky azure more - however I admit we've had sunny days, but it's very cold.

Lovely series of haiku. Each one could stand alone. Each one paint a vivid picture with your very descriptive words.

Well done and good luck in the contest.

I like this trio of haiku that paints each part of the day differently. From dawn til dusk we feel the serenity and enjoy the gradual changes, as we should in life in general. Well done.

I am no expert at Haiku so I can't comment on the technical aspect here, but I felt the sun setting and the night descending and we are at peace whilst we sleep, good luck, love Dolly x

"Passage of Time", is a well-written, but somewhat depressing piece. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

A very well-written haiku series about the passage of time from dawn to dusk and the changes in the sky that shows the wonder of the rising sun and the descend which is each beautiful in their own right.
