Exceptional

zanya,

This is a brilliant Reverse Haiku contest entry deserving of a first place win. A six star review is especially applicable as it confirms your talent and skill met the challenge of this contest and was victorious. Well done.

All the best,

Eugene

So sorry to be late to this party. Life has been more difficult at the moment. A splendid haiku in this unique reversed form. Beautifully penned and illustrated too. Sending you my very best and congratulations, Zanya!

Excellent

This reverse haiku, Riversides Brownish Reeds, presented with a 7-5-7 formatting, captures the tough place keepers that remain where they lived, waiting to live again.

Thanks for reviewing zanya

I do like this poem, which meets the requirements of the reverse haiku competition well. However, I think that it should be 'riverside's' as the reeds belong to the riverside and you are not talking about more than one riverside. Apart from that, this is a beautiful poem so good luck with it

One of the best ones. Lovely and rich nature imagery. Good syllables count for the contest. Good rhyme. I love the presentation and imagery. I hope you do well in the contest. This contest is not a haiku but it sounds like a fun project.

Very nice and a little different. Hope and optimism are suggested by nature's cycle of renewal. An excellent poem and I send you very best wishes for the contest. Great image to support your words.

I enjoyed the distinction of the 5 syllable line here by using a visually distinct (aurally identical) rhyme, and the use of colour to move through time. Kate xx

The snow freshens up the scene when there is no green, from Autumnal browns to virgin snow before spring brings back some welcome colour, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

You have done a superb job with the writing prompt. The words have a lovely flow, and you have a color in each line. The artwork is perfect. I wish you the best in the contest.
