I'm not much of a poet, but I would say that this hit all of the elements of a Haiku. I found it well written and beautifully presented. OOps, didn't use enough words.

This is beautiful, heartwarming and peaceful. I just love gazing at the picture after reading your Haiku. I'd love to have this on my wall where I sit and write. What a joy that would be. This is a wonderful piece. I'd change nothing about it.

very powerful in total, how many times have we awakened into a world sea of mist midst the liquid sky in our lifetimes? Yes for many incalculable times. Your Haiku poem creates great deep thought. A joy to read, again and again!

    Hello Jim! Thank you for your lovely words and insights into this Haiku. This form is a not in meter, so I always have to think really hard to find those nuances to make it have depth. So appreciate you!!

In such a short poem you managed to paint a picture and spark emotion, truly a talent. I grew up near water so in me you brought back childhood memories. I thank you for that. The picture adds to your words. The entire presentation gets a thumbs up.

That must have been a wonderful experience. You have expressed it so well in this short poem. As it is said, mist in the morning is nature's morning breath. Good luck in the contest!

This is quite clever with the subtle meaning in the first line around the word 'woke' I think. Also I love the most beautiful artwork it is paired with that enhances the haiku. Well done. Giddy.

You have made excellent use of all of your syllables in this lovely, expressive haiku. The imagery is appealing and imaginative. Effective
metaphor also

I think you have fused the accompanying artwork beautifully with your very creative haiku. Even without the artwork the visuals conjured in the minds eye are stunning... Good luck with this one friend, impressive!
