A lovely word picture in this haiku, Melissa. I'm sorry I'm behind in reviewing; I was visiting my sister in PA. She has cancer and finished her chemo treatments while I was there. Blessings. Carol

    Thanks so much for your prayers. She's facing surgery mid-July. She's amazingly calm and trusting God about everything.

Melissa,

This poem feels like a Lune. Although I favor centered lines as my standard format, maybe your verse would benefit from a left alignment.

Your poem whispers to me. You selected a terror image to pair with your verse.

    Hi Mark. Thanks so much, my friend, for your lovely review. It would be fun to write a Lune. I may see if I can put one together. Thanks again.

What a beautiful picture you have chosen, and your words so aptly describe the moon leaning into the trees, whispering soft secrets. Very well done on this.

An awesome poem with a great presentation and imagery of the moon scene. I like your satori...."bewitching the earth". It flows well with beautifully descriptive words that paint a clear poetic vision..

This is a beautiful haiku. I enjoyed it very much. I liked especially the personification of the moon, whispering poetry, no less, to the earth! I wish you good luck in the contest.

'Soft whispers', is short and deftly descriptive. Each short line is woven with the golden threads of truth. This talented poet's work is certainly worth a six. I look forward to seeing your next piece.

This is a striking combination of haiku and illustration. The image is spectacular. It looks like the moon is leaning in to whisper to the trees. Great presentation.

This is a lovely presentation. The picture of the moon is great. Very creative imagery in your poem, with the moon whispering sonnets to the breeze. "Bewitching" works in beautifully. It is a magical scene. The trees look pretty eerie in the picture as they're shown against the moon. Best of luck in the contest. judi
