Enjoyed the pithiness of the lines which convey so much. I appreciate your notes at the end.The alliteration flowing from word to word adds a lot to the imagery and music.Joyshri

It amazes me how much punch can be packed into these small haikus. I love your wording for summer and rising hopes with the seasons change "let new sun rise hopes with heat."

Excellent!

Great imagery. One question. Did you put the comma where you intended it? It seemed to make more sense with the comma after glow making it

Lights glow, lives grow dark.

lights(light's) glow lives, go dark! (This line might be better punctuated as "light's glow live. go, dark!" or something similiar.)

Look out for opening these the same way.

O Spring.

O Rain.

Eventually it all starts to look like the same poem, and you lose your audience.

Ug a bee, ug a bee, that's all folks. A gem of brevity. Lotsa fun to read. Good motion, form and instruction. The textbook description. Best wishes. Ray.

Dear Alcreator,

Thankyou for writing so beautiful a haiku, woven with charming complexity into a

lovely poem of traditional structure. I am learning about Haiku and Senryu these days, so I find it all the more instructional.

I am stunned by this form that says so much, if one reads it as it is meant to be, in just seventeen syllables

warm regards,

ami

well at the beginning you seem to bid the spring goodbye fon now, but then when the end of the writting comes you seem to demand that it leave, always the creative one providing the hard way making me think very hard as always.

Okay, got it on first read with this one, I think. Why 'go dark' at the end though? Was this a communication of balance in life OR something else? Enjoyed it.

bye spring, time is up
new sun brings hopes, intro heat
let lives glow, shake dark

Like a poetic clarion call at the instance of Spring going, leaving a mark of hope to uphold lives and remove all dark. Excellent message in brevity.
