this is a fine piece of poetry dear anonymous! i wolud just like to point out it doesn't really have a satori but rather three grammatically interconnected lines. but it is easily fixed, just take the word "for" off. then the last line will be a satori.
thank you for sharing!
good luck!
blessings!

Poet,

This is a very strong haiku entry for the zen contest. I like how it reads as an entire thought as well as the alliteration in line one. It has an overall feeling of
zen and nice presentation as well.

Linda

This is a fine haiku for the contest
Good concrete imagery in sitting and reflection
which is difficult with Zen
The only possible problem I see is all three lines are connected
Whether the judges will say anything is unknown
Good reflective line
5-7-5 gives S/L/S
Excellent art work
Well done
Good luck in the contest

    Hi rspoet Thanks for your feedback and your alert on all three lines being connected. is that not allowed ? It is hard with Zen as it all does connect but will keep an eye out for any other comments. With grateful appreciation Cheers

    If the committee objects, a simple fix is to remove the "for". Good luck.
