Excellent

Overall presentation with picture and the colored font really adds to what you've written. The last line shows the innocence of the child and the simplicity of nature's wonder. Great job. Les

So cool to make the font a rainbow
I love that a child smiles
I love the smell of rain and I love New Zealand because there are so many rainbows there
God bless

I love how the first two lines of the haiku incorporate the different colors of the rainbow. It is effective and pretty and then the satori line - a child smiles is in white. Good luck in the contest.

A lovely interpretation of this contest, as an entry in this one, you have chosen to write an 5/7/3 poem. Rainbows have always evoked hope, the original was to have been purported to be a sign that God would never again destroy the earth by flood. A good reference to a child's smile, meaning innocent appreciation of beauty! Well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

very positive and upbeat. Enjoyed the colorful lettering to emphasize the rainbow. The final line '' a child smiles" is powerful..

Well I may not know what I am talking about but I thought Haiku you try to keep in present tense? so: soaked earth smells of rain, as rainbow peeks between clouds, a child smiles. It's lovely as is, just felt like tweaking...good luck in contest.

I was drawn in by the colors of your poem, which was a wonderful idea for this prompt. I like the way you start with the smell, go to a visual, and end with the smile of a child. What a sweet and well written poem!
