How interesting to be contributing to a collaborative effort of these types of offerings.

Just one point - the correct spelling is 'palette'.

Best wishes
Judy

A lovely segue from the wine glasses into a reflection about nature and colors. It's always a beautiful thing when "love ripens!"
One spelling comment:
"pallete of colours." (palette) if you mean like an artist's palette.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this lovely piece that likens the progression of love to that in nature. An appealing poetic image

Thanks a lot, Pam, and for your lovely review. I have to slow down with some of my writing. I fall behind with responding far too easily. Ulla xx

You are welcome, Ulla. You do post a lot of writing. Sometimes it's hard to resist, though.

Thank you for adding your poem to Gypsy Blue Rose's book of renga. Your stanza advances the theme and maintains the linkage. Your artwork selection reinforces the palette of colors perfectly. Cheers- Joan

Comment from Pantygynt

Excellent

This is a neat statement that follows the 5-7-5 format but it is not a haiku as it lacks the essential feature of that form, the satori line. Usually the third line the satori offers a unique viewpoint on the previous two lines. It should make us think oh, I never thought of it that way before. Satori means enlightenment. This I more important than sticking to a linear syllable count, though 17 syllables overall I s generally considered the maximum.

Far too many people are making this mistake

As a 5-7-5 I have no problem with this whatsoever and am happy to upgrade it.

I've changed it to a 5-7-5. That should solve the issue. Ulla:)

reply by Pantygynt on 18-Jul-2020

It did. I have upgraded it to 5 stars.

Awe, Thank you, Jim, that's very kind of you. :))

Nicely said and done - love grows and ripens as nature is changing and multiply its colors with every season there is. A new reason. Thank you for sharing and good luck with your writings.

Ahhh, just a wonderful way to put it. Yes, love grows and ripens. I love that idea. You did a wonderful job writing this poem. It is contest worthy, but not an entry. Thank you for sharing.
