Gypsy,
A nice, soft, warm image that ties with the photo - which is why you won the contest. Way to go, lady Blue. Winning is always better than not.

Excellent! I like the imagery, and can easily imagine myself on the park bench next to her. "warm breeze lulls" has a nice ambiguity.
Congratulations on the win. Well deserved.

I enjoyed reading your 5-7-5 Haiku and I liked your choice of photo. Just one question. Did you mean to put "on park bench"?
Best of luck

'Old Woman Nods Off' is a great Haiku. It has humor.
It consists of three lines.
Each line has a syllable count: 5-7-5
Total syllable count: 17
Beautiful artwork: The image is a good fit for the poem.
Best of luck to you in the contest.
Thanks for sharing your Sunset Haiku.
Good luck with your future writing!

Lovely seasonal picture of the woman on a park bench. The "tangerine" is reflected not only in the summer season but in the color of the sunset. Lovely haiku.

looks to me that you hit all the elements of a haiku. I liked the imagery. First two lines, definitely connected with the third line fitting right in, Well done.
