Yes, here's to lifelong learning! I enjoyed your condensed haiku--it never ceases to surprise me how much can be said in so few words. I enjoyed your "garden" metaphor and your even managing to include alliteration! Best wishes in the Lune contest- Joan

Well written words flowed together creating the message of the poem. Your choice of photo and background color were chosen well they completed your poem. Good luck in the contest.

This is a good example of the Lune format. I like its message, and I like the way its syntax flows as a coherent sentence. Very well done. (I just don't understand how you got my uncle's picture!?!?)

It was that big, ugly guy in the picture who made me do it. (lol)

The artwork made me a laugh out loud. How cute is he? I enjoyed the verse, which followed the lune pattern. I wish you well in the contest. :)

A surprisingly provocative poem.
You make the reader ponder all the connotations of "green."
Nice image suggested of man "sprouting" an open mind.
Liked the garden motif throughout.

Oh wow, I love the message in your lune poem! It's short by not necessarily simple as far as it was thought-provoking for me. I gathered that "green" meant one who is kind and compassionate to the environment and the animal kingdom (including humans) and not green with envy or having a lot of "green" money. Perfect picture to match.
Excellent!

Thanks for the great review. I was meaning green as in growing in knowledge.

Perfect syllable count. Makes the reader and I agree. There is always more for us to learn. I like the metaphor of mind as a garden.
