What a great and meaningful entry for this contest! The first two lines
say a lot to me. I like how this author wrote the second line using the word rises! The last line unites us all! The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem! Jesse, hope you are having a great day!.....Maria

As I've often said, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. But that doesn't keep me from enjoying reading others thoughts. I can't remember the exact date of your surgery, but here's hoping everything works out better than even expected. Thanks for sharing.

    I knew your surgery was coming up soon. You were out of sight, but not out of mind. Wish you the very best! Ric

I get the message and yet am troubled with line two a tad. I would like it better as "rising up to explore, but "then" that is short a syllable. The difference being to me seems as THEN has hope pausing before ascending whereas hope ascends naturally on its own. Do you see what I am saying? Your friend in words. Tom

This is a very nice poem. Your count is correct for a Haiku. The artwork goes well with your poem. I really liked the phrase "universal love". I wish you the best of luck in this and all of your endeavors.

You did a great job, Jesse, with your contest entry. I enjoyed
reading it. Your syllable count is correct per line. Great job with
haiku style. The picture is awesome. I like the satori. Yes, hope
is one of the universal 'things'.
Thanks for sharing and best wishes, Jan

This is a wonderful example of a haiku that
explores the very essence of what makes it
a unique poetry style.

I tend to shy away from haiku, I am not sure
why. Your writing has inspired me to give it
another try.

The message of love is a strong one that feels
heartfelt. I agree that hope gives us life and life
is love.
Terrific word choices!!

    I encourage you to try it, my friend.
    I haven't written a haiku in many years yet it just felt right.
    Thank you for your kind and insightful review. I am impressed by your insights into the idea that hope gives us life and love.
    Have a lovely day and week!

A lovely Haiku. I like the personification of hope, and hope and love often go together. Fine image chosen as well. Best wishes for your entry in the Haiku contest.

nicely done haiku on what is love. I am a big believer that the universe is alive and that is what we perceive when we tap into the universal mind of the universe
