I love this.
It's as if it the clouds are saying....
'though we die, yet we live on in joy.'
This is so original.
Just beautiful Miss June,
blessings...

At first, I did not realize that this was a death poem (I know I need to take that class). When I read the notes though, your last line took on a whole new meaning for me. That is actually extraordinary. You are doing well in this class. I have read two of your Japanese poems and you are really capturing the format.
Glad that I read this one.

You have made excellent use of your seventeen syllables in this lovely, descriptive, uplifting poem. I see those departing clouds as Covid (well, eventually).

-Very nice image, Janice.
-The syllable count is good,
along with the topic.
-Effective nature and
seasonal imagery with
the "floating clouds" and
"calm waters."
-A very good satori line, too.

Excellent emotional tone to this Jisei Haiku, June. It feels joyful with the departing clouds, as they are leaving over calm waters, so all is well. The juxtaposition works very well in establishing cooperation.

A fine contribution to the club and a joy to read and review. :))

I like how you make this jisei haiku present death as just another day with that final line of "joy in a new day." Of course, you start with the clouds lifting from calm waters which shows us the peaceful transition.

Your haiku is so serene, June. I get the image of softness as the feathery clouds come and take the spirit away, then return another day. But all of it is done so calmly. You did a great job with your special haiku for this style. Your words are well-chosen and paint a lovely picture.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Your words painted a beautiful vision in the reader's mind... I can imagine waking up and seeing those clouds drifting away and leaving a glorious morning over the water for me. Smiles, Carol
