Hi Janny! What a wonderful opportunity Yeltel has provided us to, once again, send good wishes to Brooke, this time via a haiku, my favorite form of poetry. When I review haiku, I am particularly looking for a vivid concrete image in the two connecting lines and a second concrete image in the "satori" line that provides the reader with the opportunity to ponder and reach their own AHA (as opposed to the poet providing it through their own summary). We are somewhat limited in this contest as we are required to use the word "dandelion" in the poem. You've used the technique of metaphor well in your poem and I like the idea of dandelions being drops of sunshine. Best of luck in this contest. Sue

WOW! I am overwhelmed by your rating of 6 for my tiny haiku. The dandelion is still a weed when in my lawn, but maybe not when way out in the fields. Thanks so much. Jan

Thank you so much for your time reviewing. It took me a long time to learn, and I still get haiku wrong. You should try it. Jan

This is a very good entry into the contest Dandelion haiku, you kept to the syllable count and your image is just fablous,
Goodluck in the contest. Mary

Nice job on your contest entry. I wrote one for this also. I like your picture too. I thought the last line had to be five syllables, but I guess not. Good luck!

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is a great haiku with terrific imagery, masterful artistic presentation and a great photo. I love your satori line in its spiritual undertones.
The problem with this one, it doesn't follow short/long/short format mandated by the contest requirements.
fields of dandelions - 6 syllables
are drops of sunshine - 5 syllables
Heaven sent - 4 syllables
short/long/short means that the middle line has to be the longest. In your poem your first line is the longest. What you have is long/short/short format.
This will be disqualified unless fixed.
suggestion:
fields of dandelions [6 syllables]
are drops of yellow sunshine [7 syllables]
Heaven sent [4 syllables]
17 syllables total
This is just an example, you can choose your own unique wording.
Love, Y.

Your words alone paint a picture of a field of glory. Perfect reminder of a certain dew pearl. Best to you with this entry in a contest rapidly filling.

This meets all of the haiku requirements beautifully. The imagery is concrete and the satori closes it out nicely for the reader. I wish you all the best in the voting and thank you for sharing it.

This is lovely, and best of luck to you in the contest. Your words are beautifully chosen. Your syllable count meets the requirements of 17 syllables or less. Great comparison of the dandelions to drops of sunshine. They are heaven sent. judi
