Congratulations on winning the contest. It was a wonderful entry. The visual imagery is great. Nice work.

Bubbles use to be like the best thing in the world. I'm surprised they're still around. Software captured those bubbles on screen savers long ago.

Happy Easter

For anyone who has played with children with bubble, soap solution, this paints the picture. The outdoor light makes each bubble it's own rainbow.

Hi Indi :) Oh I can SEE this!! My own children run around the garden grabbing at rainbows when we get the bubbles out... in fact, my 6yr old pointed out the rainbows in the bubbles just the other day. There's nothing children enjoy more than bubbles....except maybe balloons and sweeties!
Congratulations on your win - very well deserved :) Kindest regards as always, Debra :)

Thank you so much, Debra, for your great review and comments for my haiku. I wanted to write a little something different about rainbows, and I thought bubbles would be different. I'm so glad you could relate to the bubble rainbows and thanks for your kind congratulations.

I had to read this twice. And then the aha, moment. Bubbles produce the rainbow effect when light shines through. And children loves bubbles and will seek to catch and pop them. This is such a beautiful and simple idea. Very well captured in this imagery.

I guess a child had bubbles as part of its Easter basket and had fun blowing those bubbles. Even at my advanced age I still enjoy playing with those and trying to land one on my nose... Nicely done Spud, JohnnyD

How very creative and I really enjoyed this haiku. I like the satori as the first line. Oh how I remember my kids doing this when little, and they always spoke of the rainbow in each bubble. They could do this for hours, so I had to stock up on the bottles, lol. I wish you the best in this contest. . .Sharon

Hello Poetrywoman

You've written a fine haiku in good form and in keeping with the elements of excellence in haiku writing. You've formed a concrete image in the mind of the reader with two grammatically connected lines and the satori is spot-on. You've also captured a moment in time, thus not a desk haiku. You have not personified nature.

Well done,
Ray

Wow, what a wonderful review from my favorite PoetryMan! Thank you for your thorough review of my haiku and your generous rating. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the imagery. I love watching kids chase after bubbles, but I like doing it, too. Catching rainbows in the breeze. Thank you so much.
