Your Haiku describes the wonderful and fulfilling love of family, no matter what the circumstances may be, their support is priceless. Judy

Your poem says it all and the picture you chose is great. What more can I say? It's really difficult to review Haiku poems, but yours is excellent.

This brought to my mind Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
These have always been some of the best times of my life. Your words say it all, family does make life complete. Great entry for the contest, good luck.

This is a lovely haiku, Carol. I am impressed with your very careful attention to word selection, simple yet attractive, and you seem to pick the perfect ones. It conveyed perfectly your message, that you're blessed by God with family. Good luck in the contest. Your friend, tati.

    Without God and my family, I don't think I would have survived some of the darkest hours in my life. Thanks for the review. Take care, Carol

Hi!

I really enjoyed this poem. Family is so very important! God is so good to us! I know that at the end of my life I will not care how much I have worked.....only how my relationship with God stands and that I have spent time with my family. Great writing! Cheers

This is a really great haiku. Have you ever read one that started off good, but the last line made the whole thing sound "off". Yours DID NOT do that it was great! The only issue I had was with the second line, but it was MY problem, I thought family was a 2 syllable word, I probably looked crazy clapping my hands together saying family over and over again.... Anyway YOU are correct of course! :-)

    Dictionary girl...

    Hey no problem...I looked it up to be sure...depends on how you want to pronounce it actually...Showed 3 syllables as the most common. As long as you enjoyed it, I am happy. Syllable counting drives me crazy.

    Thanks for reading and commenting. i truly appreciate your kind words. Carol
