I love all the S sounds that resonate with the imagery portrayed so it SOUNDS like wind in the leaves. Love the imagery of 'wings' too. The only critique I have is to suggest using BLADES instead of leaves, since it's grass and not trees.


sun shines on tall grass

as its blades stand in splendor--

wind hushes its wings...


Lovely work and presentation too! I enjoyed this.

Warmly, rd

Your haiku contest entry is descriptive even without a picture. Your words pair perfectly with your great art choice. I enjoyed reading your poem, amada. Good job with the syllable count per line. I like the personification of the wind.
Thank you for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

This is the first poem I have read about seagrass and your words create a clear image. I like your last line, it is as if the wind is respecting the seagrass. Excellent haiku form that paints a picture of nature.

I like the feeling of serenity this poem achieves, but am a little unsure of how to read it... slightly ambiguous. Possibly the splendor of the tall grass has momentarily silenced the wind in awe?... before the wind's wings beat again.

This is a poem whose words about nature are as beautiful as the nature picture you chose. It meets the definition of a haiku, but also leaves an impression of peace. Very well done. Best to you as you write more!

Hi Amanda, this is a lovely Haiku poem and deserves credit as the words chosen do work really well and the last line for me works the best as it concludes a fine poem on nature. Cheers Colin

Hello Amada, this is a lovely, well composed haiku. Perfect enjambment in lines one and two and good use of metaphor in your satori. Perfect layout with a lovely picture. Good Luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy x
