I like these words because they truly wake up the imagination. I can see the frosted dew glistening by the light of the moon as the writer eludes too. I love these words because they make you feel a sense of calm while shaking up the imagination. Great job writer and your words just always seem to come alive in your writing. I can't wait to read more of this. You truly have a gift, thanks.

MariVal,
What a beautiful piece of artwork. It seems this is an ekphrastic poem. One of the good things about frost, ice and snow is how it adds beauty to the grass and trees.
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

Human beings take pleasure in killing, and when we can imagine that the slain animals serve as food, then we overlook the harshness and cruelty of our way of thinking.

Excellent, yes the circle of life does have sad moments for it to be completed, your haiku gives the image of the hunter as he guts his meal, very well written and presented, best wishes for your contest****kahpot

A hauntingly beautiful and sad Haiku. The picture compliments your words beautifully with the sun reflection being blood in the water.
You capture also the hunter's joy as he celebrates the kill.
Good luck in the contest.
Best wishes,
Mary

Good luck wishes regarding the Haiku Poetry contest, Gypsy. I generally don't review any poems or stories that take a life but this one was so very well done. I liked the picture of the stream and the follow up one of the deer. It was impressive. Blessed be n hugs!

The "life essence" is a good definition of blood. And the blood of the deer in the water is another way to look at that sunset on the water picture. Best wishes in the contest!!

This is a fine haiku in the traditional form. The two concrete images and the thought/satori all important third line.

Apt artwork and and a professional presentation.

Wishing you great luck with the Committee. :))

I like this Haiku poem - excellent picture presentation - very crisp and clear - good word count and connection between lines- notes help to support your poem - telling about hunters moon - informative poems that education, or give a new slant - perspective - way of looking at the subject matter - kind of like a satori in it self - I like takeaways - gives added dimension to the work. Good Job. Good luck in the contest too!

Your skillful words strike a balance between nature and human nature. The climactic thrill of the kill is illustrated in your graphic imagery. This is exceptional work, Gypsy. Good luck in the contest.

Stay safe and blessed,

Hugs, Julia
