I like your entry in this 'putting the sartori first ' haiku contest! I quite like this haiku, it's an abstract one, I don't know how you managed to do that! I like the artwork also which gives the mystery impetus, well done with this one, stands a chance! Good luck. Blessings, Roy.

Comment from Giddy Nielsen-Sweep
Oh how sad, Mikey. How utterly devoid of hope. Perhaps the moon long ago was a thriving planet, oh now I'm depressed! But you see how effective your haiku has been, three little lines can lay me low! Good luck with your poem. Perhaps it will bring a brighter day for you, Giddy

It is sad, I suppose. Well, I hope that the pictures we poets paint have an impact on those that sit idly by. Perhaps they will do something to prevent such terrible outcomes! I'm an optimist, though sometimes my poetry doesn't seem so. Just trying to shake things up. :) Thank you, mikey

I wouldn't say like the moon, because the landscape on earth differ much from the moon, but maybe more like Venus, who they say was very earth-like millions of years ago. Good poem. Good luck.

Oh my! This little piece may be your finest. You have met this challenge and then some. Perfection in thought as you make it present tense by giving it the weight of prophecy. Excellent image as well. Something to contemplate and ponder. NG

This is a great Haiku. perfect syllable count, great picture to present it as well. It paints a picture as it is suppose to do. Its a great response to the prompt.

Mikey, first of all the picture that you have chosen works very well with your poem or Haiku. And it is very descriptive your last two lines and expressive as well as your first line or cutter line definitely is clear to support your other two lines. Thank you for sharing and posting this for everyone and may all your endeavors be good ones. By the way good luck in the contest.

Wow! You really put the Satori first! Like, this is awesome in a way I couldn't have envisioned before. I read the prompt and thought, "huh?" But, thanks to you, I truly see the light. You actually foreshadowed your own insight about nature's future by putting the insight at the beginning! Crafty! I'm impressed!

So delighted with your wonderful review. I entered this thing without a word written down. I figured the ten bucks would force me to come up with something! I have a tendency to write endings first in my poems and stories, so this came somewhat naturally to me. You have made my week. Thank you so much!!! mikey

Does the finger point to the moon or does the moon point to the finger? Great haiku in the ancient tradition. Basho would be proud. Great job!
