This type of poetry is very complicated, however, this is a nicely done haiku. The first line really speaks to me. The overall movement is good and the poem follows the form well. The last line is kind of confused to me.
GOOD JOB!
:)

You had my attention from the first word to the last
I found your words sad but true.
There is a strong message within this poem.
This is what I call a food for thought poem, meaning after you read it you go hmmm.
Thank you for sharing.

This poem is a bit fuzzy. The meaning is obscure and the construction is atrocious. The author's notes actually confuse things even further. I think you really need to curl up with "The Elements of Style" and make it your Bible. On the upside, there's nowhere for your writing to go but up.

Your 5-7-5 format is spot on. I find that your message is rather cryptic. I read your notes and agree that God is probably unhappy with man although the stand, state, and status thing alludes me. Kudos for brevity.

Sincerely, i think you have not yet been able to bring out what you have in mind in this poem. I like the conversational structure but the meaning is elusive. Please take a second look at this work. cheers

I agree that most men behave not so humanlike. Meaning that most of mankind do not behave in the image of love that humanity comes from. Warfare throughout history attest to that.

' man who practices humanity per God will achieves the state and status of Human.' This is a circular statement. We all have the state of being human. It is our physical state and our being that defines it. When it comes to 'status', this is defined in a million ways by millions of people. It cannot be defined outside of people. Please study the meaning of words before you use them.

This is so cryptic and such a challenge to even glimpse of any meaning. Here's my best guess---instead of Mohammed going to the mountain, the mountain goes to God. Lord answers by saying--- humanity(humaneness) is such a big disappointment, you are mostly just men(animalistic beings)

Excellent morality play in just 15 words. This is certainly experimental use of the 5-7-5 format/style, and it words very well. This is a fable done beautifully. Great job.

I like your perception on mankind, especially how you used inanimate objects as metaphors for a larger purpose. I believe if God were to answer that question about what's man, he would say someone who has a lot to learn. Because man really thinks that he knows everything there is to know about life. Great piece.
