Comment from Sharon Davis
A cleverly composed jisei haiku. The words are powerful in the imagery that is created. The accompanying image and title of the poem reflect the theme of the piece. Nicely done.

As much as I dread the spreading of dandelion seeds, each seed is such a marvel. That's what I appreciate about your jisei haiku - it shows not only the death of the plant but the flying "untethered" seed predicts new life somewhere else.

Comment from Father Flaps
Hi Debra,
We used to have a lot of fun with these when we were young. We'd pretend the seeds were paratroopers behind the enemy lines in France.
I count a 5-6-3 contemporary Haiku. It's going to land someplace, but all up to the wind. Still a bit early for these seeds in southern New Brunswick.
I like the alliteration with "wisp/wanders/wake".
Nice entry for the JISEI HAIKU event.
Hugs,
Kimbob

Thanks so much, Kimbob :)
Glad you enjoyed this one. It took me ages to get the wording just how I wanted it... I always find that writing haiku takes me a long time - it?s satisfying though! Best wishes, Debra
Comment from Elizabeth Emerald
Gorgeous! So lovely and elegant, and whimsical besides! Impressive alliteration in WWW. This could have been a contender in a haiku contest. Nice work.

Comment from Ginnygray
Wisp, wonders, wake make this short haiku come alive with nature's imagery which is precisely the goal. Certainly well achieved. I particularly found your author's notes advantageous and the neutral black enhanced the delicate dandelion's wistfulness! Thank you for sharing your talents.

Comment from Pj Dennison
Your poem is excellent. The thoughts and the images that goes with your words are so very good. I like that the photo is black and white as well. One time my daughter when she was very young, around four told me to come running because there were angels everywhere outside. I had to see this and run I did. In the air were canopies of dandelion seeds floating up and away in the wind. She was so excited seeing the little angels I had not the heart to tell her any different. Thank you for bringing back that memory.
