Wind and Water

Comment from Cecilia Lynne1
Excellent choice of art supporting your 5-7-5 poem, Wind does propel for good and also can destroy. One of those forces that mankind can also use for good to enjoy life or destroy. But in all truth as you have plainly revealed as "Nature's awesome might". So few words used well to express and support an act of "Creation". For me as a believer the "Truths" of our one an "Only God" of creation.
Thank you for sharing. All the best to you.

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a terrific 5-7-5 poem, as the syllable count is perfect.
I love the mood of this, it is carefree, and joyous like catching fireflies on a warm summers night.
Your carefully selected words convey a strong message of the powers of Mother Nature.
Thanks for sharing.

A good 5-7-5 poem. The syllable count is on point. The blue background is a great color to accent your poem. The message is clearly presented. However, the font needs to be larger to be more prominent under a large visual. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Some people just have the intensity and bravado to brave Nature's worst. I think surfers are in that group of people. All number of dangers are in front of them when they take to the ocean to surf. You can't fight nature, but this group of daredevils just seem to want to saddle her at least.
True to the word, good job.

I agree with your view of surfers. I live on the gulf coast, and we occasionally see surfers. I am always in awe of them. Thanks for reading and reviewing my work. elaine

Comment from Gypsy Blue Rose
Excellent entry for the 5-7-5 writing prompt contest.
Good syllables count and connection between lines with great presentation and imagery. It flows well with descriptive words that paint a clear mental picture of the sea and boat surfing
Good luck in the contest.

Gypsy,
I so appreciate that you take the time to read and comment on my work. I admire your talent. Congrats on your latest contest win. Well- deserving. Beautiful haiku. Thanks for encouraging those of us who love that particular form. elaine
Comment from lyenochka
A nicely done 5-7-5 which celebrates both the wind and the water. On one hand, man/surfer is making use of the "awesome might" of nature but on the other, he's fully reliant on it. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Very well done, though I would have liked to see the font size selected be much larger. Love the picture selected as well. As a once-upon-a-time weather-guesser for the Navy, I have been places this surfer is seen skating the crests in gust driven winds.

Tom,
Thanks for reading and commenting on my work. I do not know how to use the editing available. I hope to figure it out. At least, I learned how to center my text!!!

As for editing I am puzzled when to hit what but sooner or later I find a way. Best thing to remember is whatever edit you are successful in making SAVE and then go on to the next change desired. Font size is under advanced editing which has a drop down showing 14,16, 20 etc. twenty is best especially for short works. Good luck
Comment from K. Lang-Slattery
This is a fine short poem that evokes the power of the ocean. Thanks for sharing. Also lovely illustration. I like the middle line the most, "across vast churning waters."

The author's words are interesting, exciting, fun, descriptive and creative. I pondered on the last line which led me to think of this exciting and fun time in nature! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork and title of this poem are awesome!
