That's pretty. It makes me wanna be in the boat or just sitting on the side line watching and taking it all in. Great job and good luck in the contest

Beautiful use of haiku,5-7-5. The summation line contains great imagery.

Technically, I appreciate that you used lower case and titled the poem properly. Such minute items but it is sacred to the form.

Pagination and photo choice are exceptional.

    This is a great review, Melissa. I treasure every exceptional I receive, and your words are very appropriate. I feel that when the prompt says haiku - it should be a proper haiku. Sometimes this site is not very clear on thier prompts. Thank you so much

I love the picture. I love the poem. I like reading about spring while there is snow on the ground. I will welcome the gentle breeze of spring. I love all the new scents it brings. Great work.

This is a beautiful little package, poem and picture!
The showy cherry trees certainly steal the show in spring's blossom parade! And here to imagine them sprinkling down on a pair of lover's as they glide downstream is a very romantic notion.

    Thank you for enjoying my little haiku, and I love that you thought it was romantic. Now that I think about it maybe that was what I was after.

A Haiku begs for surprises. Your last line connects well with the previous lines. It suggests some rapport between man/woman and mother nature. Spring has become a stereotype for something gentle. Eliot thought differently when he wrote; "April is the cruelest month;breeding lilacs out of the dead ground...." -Ekim777

    I bet to differ, but you have the right to your opinion. Haikus last line can be a reflection or an observation. Mine last line is an observation. None the less, thank you for the review. I don't find April cruel so Eliot's quote is lost on me.

    Eliot's words reflect the soullessnes and disconnect of our times.

This is a beautiful haiku. The syllable count is right on. The subject is delicate, as it should be for a haiku. The whole poem inspires pink thoughts. Makes me hungry for a cherry chocolate!

Very well done. Descriptive. I love the 'pink confetti' image that you paint. The artwork is well chosen, too. A very pleasant read.
