This is a beautiful piece of work, Kamran. Each line is a gem, but the catalyst is that second line- loved it! I like reading it slowly as well. God bless, Holly

ameen786,
Your 5-7-5 poem is extremely well written with rich imagery painted by your three lines:
moonlit night at beach
echo tears tearing my heart
slow, slow salty tears
You used excellent alliteration with the T & S words.
You used great metaphor: "tearing my heart."
Your satori line is very good.
I'd recommend your well composed 5-7-5 Senryu reflecting human emotion to other reviewers.
It's a shame you didn't win the contest.
Please have a nice day,
Melissa.

Your poem is in good 5/7/5 form as the contest directs, but the contest also says to write about something you love - this sounds far more sorrowful to be something you love
I like the alliteration in your final two lines and your strong expression of emotion

    Brooke my friend, I am grateful to you for your time and the constructive review, thank you very much. Given the sorry/sad habitat we live in, it's possible that some might be forced or have no option but to love sorrow and there are many in third world countries who love sorrow.

This poem have many feelings. Have which relation the sea and tears, that is intense to tear the heart? And moonlit on beach become lost. Haiku is word little but its echo strong and deep.

Second review

:-)) Namaskaram!


First review (FOUR stars)

Good 'haiku me' contest entry using a nature scene to paint a canvas of emotion. There is a glaring spag nit, however, which screams louder in poems of brevity, so you might want to revise...since the subject is singular, the verb needs to have an 's' on it.

I like the repetition in line three and the fine alliteration as well.

Good presentation except the picture is in daytime, not night. Might be better with a night beach painting or photo (or no photo at all).

Good luck in the contest.
Warmly, rd

Good thought and a good entry for a haiku contest. Wonderful creation here. But I would have prefer only the use of 'slowly' instead of 'slow, slow'.
