You have the elements and the form of the haiku, with the three variants. I felt it could have been a little stronger, but the haiku caters for simplicity as much as anything else, so I say well done to you.

My best wishes,
RGstar

I found this difficult to rate largely because of the difference in quality between these haiku. I loved the humour of the satori in the second poem: the kenning 'pick-neck' is inspired, with its play on the words 'picnic', 'pick' and 'necking'. The piece is marginally spoiled for me, however, by its lack of grammatical fluency: when I read it I wanted to put a 'the' before 'concert', but I recognize this would have conflicted with the poem's form.

The first haiku is grammatically more successful and the satori in the third line works beautifully. I liked particularly the sibilant use of 's' sounds, which is in keeping with the picture your create. Though good, however, this haiku lacks the resonance of the second.

The third haiku is for me the least successful: the image 'fogs the window' lacks the originality of the first two poems and the satori on this occasion doesn't work for me. I am not sure about its relationship to what has gone before.

Nevertheless, I enjoyed reading your entry for the contest and wish you well.

Three very good haiku suite. All three have lines l and 2 interconnecting perfectly and lines 3 are good satori. I particularly like the satori in haiku No 2. Clever play on words - pick-neck. Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

I like the way you intertwine animals, human and things
all in the name of love.
You capture the compassion and embraced it in a sweet gentle new way.
Thank you for sharing.

HI, interesting entry and engaging. My favorite one of the Haiku's was your first one. Good formatting to show red is passion and love. Good luck in the contest. Cheers.

This is fantastic passionate piece! The degree of intimacy progresses while the couple seems to be less and less under the influence of their environment.
The first one is soft and romantic.
The second one is funny and ambiguous play with the word and the meaning :)
The third one is just pure passion.
Thank you for sharing this excellent haiku suite!

This is a lovely haiku suite about love. Good imagery in the three haiku and all satori lines are clever. I pick the first one as my favorite because love birds are so cute and they are always kissing too:) Best to you in the contest.
Blessings,
Anabella

You seem to have a perfect haiku suit for your
competition. Each haiku follows the love theme
and with a very good satori to complete the
picture. I like the red on black font and wish
you the best...
