Thank you
Comment from Sallyo
Nice one! Using the short line at the end lets it become a pithy comment. I didn't know these could have different line lengths from the expected 5-7-5. Grabs on the fly also works well with fast food.

Thank you. Yes, haiku can be 17 syllables or under. The trick is the haiku must be short/long/short. Thank you for the lovely review.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice image and
presentation, Val.
-The syllable count is good,
and you have met the
requirements for a good haiku.
-Effective nature and
seasonal imagery.
-We can picture the
hummingbird getting
nectar even without the picture.
-A good satori line, too.
-Good luck in the contest.

Hi, Val. This is a great haiku. Years ago, I wrote one that also referred to fast food. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

I like it. I like hummingbirds too. I'm trying to learn haiku and senryu. I'd appreciate your review (formal or informal). Hopefully without killing my rating. LoL. In any event, nice work and good luck in the contest for 2nd or 3rd place...I'm entering a poem and fantasize about first place. LoL.

What's the name of your haiku???? I looked at your site and it wasn't quite clear to me. If I don't like it, I won't review it. How's that for fair, as it was kind of you to review mine without "play money" involved. I don't dream of any "place" in this contest, but I know in my heart I have written a decent haiku. I write all Japanese Short form poetry, but this site has become hopeless at recognizing real JSF writing. None the less, thank you for the review.

Thanks!
Comment from juliaSjames
Clever word play adds a nuance to this vivid haiku. The artwork is attractive but the mental picture is even better since it depicts exactly how hummers flit from flower to flower.
Good luck in the contest.

Thank you, Julia, I really needed this "exceptional" As I have been arguing with the Fanstory base, about the fairness about judgement and equality. This has been a special review for me
Comment from Janice Canerdy
You have made excellent use of all of your syllables is this lovely haiku
about one of the most amazing creatures God made. I love to watch and hear them.

Comment from Mark D. R.
Val,
I support your long short long and 16 syllabled format so I am OK with your Haiku post. Do prefer centering text as you did for this type of poem. IMHO, if you increase the font size, it will make for a better presentation for future reviewers (-:
Yep, that speedy birdie gets its 'nectar to go' each time. Its 'take out' is free too!
Great illustration to accompany your entry.
Good luck in the voting.

Thank you for this lovely review. I have no idea about FONT. I have tried and failed. I appreciate your support.

Try in the advanced editor mode when you review. Just highlight text, select size, and presto you will increase the appearance.

I enjoyed your contest entry, Val. Good job with its presentation--love the color scheme, the beautiful picture, the word choices, and the elements of haiku. Your satori is great. I could picture this as I read it--even if a picture wasn't included. Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully with Admiration. Jan

Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is really good and I like this. I love hummingbirds. I think that you've got it exactly right. They move so fast and seem to be in such a hurry that it seems that they are doing a drive by to get fast food. I like this Val and enjoyed reading this well written work. Great job and well done!
