Comment from Ginda Simpson

Excellent

Ah, yes, you write about what we do not yet see, the blossoming of springtime. You invite us to ponder what lies dormant within, and hope that we may resurrect the things of life that are worthy. Lovely Haiku.

Comment from Ric Myworld

Excellent

As I've said many time, when it comes to poetry, I wouldn't know a sonnet from sorbet. But I've come to love haiku, which I call sneeze poems, where a few short words say a mouthful. Thanks for sharing.

You're absolutely right! There is so much that we don't see that prepares for Spring. Love this contest entry. Syllable count is correct for the Haiku contest. I wish you well. Great imagery. Cherish :)

Comment from Eternal Muse

Excellent

This sounds more like a senryu to me with its elements of satire.

Sharp, witty, humorous, good creative imagery, visuals and presentation.

Loved the third line.

Comment from shelley kaye

Excellent

i like the image of dormant life stirring beneath the surface
very good word choices

one suggestion is to put a dash - after stir - for a pause

thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest

Thank you, Shelley, for this excellent review. I like the dash idea, but not sure if it's allowed for this contest.
Thank you again.

reply by shelley kaye on 15-Apr-2023

oh it is - most haiku do use a dash for a pause effect after the second line :)

reply by the author on 15-Apr-2023

Ok, I'll give it a shot.
Thank you again.

Very neat and skilful awakening of the earth (perfect in this verse form). Very impressive post completely fitting the brief with syllable count. A very worthy entry in the contest. Well done and good luck, Debbie
