Your well written poem, moved me. Such power in so few words. I could feel the happiness in the fist line, the
pain in the second, tied together with skill.

How well this revelation has bee
captured in this poem carol. In such
few words it demonstrates the joy
and expectation in a Summer of dreams
only to be shattered by a winter of
heartbreaking chill...

Sad little haiku, Begin Again. Guess it's more the rule than the exception these days. Still, it's a chilling realization. Congratulations on winning the contest.

Its always difficult to critique pieces of work as short as this, and this iece is no exception.

I find no connection however between the first line and the lines that follow it...?

But hey! You won the contest, so who am I to judge...lol

A nice piece

Well done and congratulations

Tony

    summer wedding bliss (daughter was ecstatic getting married)
    winter sorrows chill the soul (problems froze the love)
    hearts unmendable (broken hearts because it can't be fixed)

    Sorry you didn't understand..I guess it's always in the eye of who is reading at the time. Thank you for the review.

Your Haiku moved me; three short lines to sum up your daughter being jilted at the alter of her dreams. I congratulate you on your overall win because you deserved it. Well done.

Hm...happiness short lived in a perfect 5-7-5 syllable count. Well written and thought provoking haiku that encompasses nature and emotion. nicely done.

    High school sweethearts who are now all grown up and approaching 30. One still wants to be a kid and the other has moved on. Unfortunately, her heart hasn't!! Thanks for the kind review. Carol

BEGIN AGAIN,

I hate to tell you but this is Senryu and not Haiku. Haiku theme is always nature. Senryu is human emotion. The line count was correct.

Love you,

Oatmeal

    Thanks for your review. I am not a poet and just happened to write this because it meant something to me. Below is the rules I was given for the haiku. Thank you. Carol

    It's often about nature but we are keeping the topic open. Write about nature, feelings, or experiences - whatever you feel will work - that follows this format.

We never know the why. It isn't our time not until we are with Him. I had a love die and I still don't understand why he had to die at 45 years old. But it isn't my place to make those decisions. Only to live with them. joan marie

    Joan Marie Even in sorrow, if we truly believe we must accept that fact that the reasons are know only to God and it is not ours to question why. Thanks for the review. CArol
