Hello She-Who-(or is it Whom?) Must Be Obeyed,
I like your reflection poem that mirrors the sky in the water which is written in your posted words - nice! Like Pete and Repeat, it goes round and round.

Perhaps the best example I've seen yet of the poem matching (or better yet, mirroring) the picture. So clever! Witty and pretty (and not at all shitty). Loved it!

I like the concept of this Haiku. Is there actually such a thing as a double Haiku is this actually a form? Just curious that's why I am asking and what better person to ask?
The punchline 'Two for one special' is a good one. Thanks for sharing

Hello, again!

I like this mirror-like poem. I am thinking of a song 'Reflections upon my Mind', or something. Okay, I am just trying to fill up space, I'll be truthful. I don't find any error in this or have any suggestions. It's cool, I like 'magenta clouds' it's very colorful. (It's so early here it's not even five a.m.)

Those of us who enjoy seeing the water in the evening hours, and pondering the reflection of the clouds on the still water, value this very good poem.

I liked the mirrored-image effect and the colorful text, along with the spectacular, parallel picture. I usually take advantage of "two for one" specials! Smiles- Joan

Hello Gypsy
looks like you like to watch sunset or sunrises.
I like you haiku(s) of how you saw two different hues of the clouds for the prize of one.

One of those beautiful sights that takes our breath away, and described in haiku to give us a three-for-one special. Yes, I did read "Two for one special." But with the picture included gives us three. Thanks for another fine poem. :-)
