Comment from Jesse James Doty
This is a perfect Haiku and I think you will do well in the contest! I love the beautiful artwork it is amazing in its awesome sense of how it feels to be 'neath a liquid sky!
Speaking of waking to the sun, I am an early riser and I am up before the dawn!
Have a wonderful week, and I admire your tenacity in getting the job well done!
Take good care of yourself, my friend!

Hello Melissa,
You've got some excellent imagery of the morning world
in your 5-7-5 traditional haiku.
The three lines are connected grammatically
which prevents the satori from having separation
and impact.
Suggestion:
early morning world
adrift in a sea of mist ~
liquid sun shimmers
Best wishes.
Robert

Hi Robert. Thank you for your lovely words and helpful comments. I did change the satori.. I was unhappy with it too. So appreciate you!

Comment from Pantygynt
A good comment but this has a distinctly metrical feel to it. The satori line is pure catalectic trochaic trimeter, and despite the marked pause the satori line is part of the grammatical sequence of the whole.
If it were mine i might have written 'afloat on sunshine' to break the rhythm somewhat.

Thank you Jim for your lovely review and helpful comments. I guess this haiku is not up to the mark this time. I have had a plethora of reviewers tell me how they would write it. LOL. But, I welcome each idea and suggestion. I am glad you all feel comfortable enough with me to express your opinion. :)
Thanks
Melissa
Comment from Bill Schott
This haiku, I Woke to a World, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, creates a dawn where we will be chilled and then bathed in the rising heat of a new day. Nice.

Hey Bill! Thanks so much!

Comment from lyenochka
That sounds like here where we call the rain "liquid sunshine" but it's not that pretty as it's always gray and we rarely see blue skies.
Loved your poetic description of the "sea of mist" ! Hope you do well in the contest!

Comment from judiverse
You selected a great picture to accompany your haiku. The sun in it does look liquid. Sea of mist is great imagery. Adrift works well with sea. The mist seems to bring a kind of enchantment. It's like being in a different world. Beautifully presented, and best of luck in the contest. judi

I have to see you are an amazing poet who is good at metaphors. I'm impressed by and learning from you. I love the last line:
'neath the liquid sun.
Exceptionally done and good luck in the contest.

A nicely written haiku Melissa, the early mornings on potentially clear winter days can be misted over by a low lying windless moisture, and it has a wonderful affect on the lovely morning scene, well done, blessings Roy

The alliteration in line one, with the floating sensation in line two combines to make a beautiful, dreamy feeling. This is lovely and calming.
Well done:)
