This is probably the most unique haiku in the contest. How very imaginative - to think of rainbows that come from bubbles! The visuals are fantastic - I can see the child blowing bubbles and grabbing those rainbows with his chubby fingers. No picture needed, as your words create vivid pictures in readers' minds. Superb creativity on this one. This should do very well in the contest, good luck in the booths, love, Y.

bubbles float

This piece meets the criteria of the Haiku poem as this piece does not exceed 17 syllables. The message is short, simple, clear and paints a clear picture in my mind.

This is lovely! It takes the rainbow down to a child's size! How wonderful those small dancing rainbows can be! I am not an expert in this form but I sense a certain perfection in yours. It is complete yet it inspires further reflection - or, in this case, refraction perhaps!

The author followed the strict rules for rainbow haiku, no personification, no metaphor just two interconnected visual imagery and a satori for the third line. An excellent write. God bless.

This is a well-written and thought provoking haiku about the nature of bubbles. It helped me to understand why my 1-year-old son loves them so much!

    Thank you so much, Jonny, for reading my poem and for your kind review and comments. Yeah, I don't think there's any kid who doesn't love bubbles ... Well, I love them, too, and I'm an old biddy. lol

Oh my land, author this is beautiful! Perfect haiku form and excellent satori line. I guess that's why we love blowing bubbles so much, even as older children. We gotta grab those rainbows and then reel in the pot of gold. :P Best wishes to you in the contest.

A child chases after rainbows when they can be captured through spying through the bottom of a crystal glass. This is very well written.

This is a beautifully subtle rainbow haiku, and it's in legitimate haiku form. Bubbles prove that for children, rainbows don't have to be out of reach. Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer.

Can't keep from adding a P.S. to this: For the first time, I received two Member Cent Pumps from one review - one from Bonus Reviewing and one from the Treasure Chest. So there was gold for me at the end of your bubble rainbows.
