Val,

Ooooohhh... I like this image you're presenting. I scrolled down and then scrolled back up so that only the haiku was visible (did that make sense?) hahaha The picture was cut off from my view - is what I'm saying.

When I read the poem again the haiku was just as vivid and strong, if not more so. I could see the rays of light streaming through those 'tattered' and 'windblown clouds'. BTW, I LOVE the 'tattered' part.

Somehow, right now, in the midst of this C-19 thing, 'tattered' just seems like a really appropriate word. Am I crazy?

I enjoyed the whole presentation and thought your satori was just right. hahaha It was 'illuminating'. hehe

This is a lovely entry for the contest. Good luck to you!

First two lines expressed Nature so wonderful but human expression in the third line I get no 'aha' effect for we read the craft of expression in third line; it appears to me so casually worded; I rate five for the endeavour.

I think this haiku will do well in this contest. The negative connotations of tattered windblown clouds are contrasted by the illumination that was hidden behind them. The image you chose compliments your piece as well. Well done.

I like your presentation very much here. The word tattered makes us think of damaged, worn out items, while the golden light filtering through is an image of richness. The combination provides the moment of illumination when we can see the value in both.

I really like the word tattered to describe the clouds. Often they are described as wispy or cottony. Tattered reminds me of curtains that let the light shine through. Illumination is the perfect a ha moment. Great job.

A very well-written haiku about the windblown clouds that filter through a golden light behind the dark clouds and gives a glimpse of illumination from the sun.

The picture you selected was perfect for your poem

What a beautiful descriptive way to describe clouds. I could clearly see them in my mind.

Best of luck in the Haiku contest.
