this poem reminded me of this little toy I saw the neighbor have when I was about twelve years old... it was a little stuffed animal that had holes on it and it wore a crown similar to those giving out by Burger king...that toy disgusted me. At the age I was, I was used to better things and quite frankly I'm just plain assed above playing with stuffed animals that wore a burger king crown on it.
I've never before thought of palms themselves as majestic... combined with the rainforest i have seen it so, but it was interesting to partake of this alterantive perception of the humble palm. Patient and soothing read this morning, which given i'm at work, is definitely a good thing ^_^
I don't know what a haiku is but this is short and sweet. if this is what a haiku is then I'm not their biggest fan because it took me more time to find than to read...but that's my problem! stick with it...I'm guessing by the other comments that it's good...i don't know...sorry. -AC
Short and sweet. I love haikus. They are so simple yet conjure so much thought. They paint such vivid pictures in peoples minds, and this one is no exception. I really have no specific comments, just keep up the good work! -Andrya
Hey there dear...great write. I love haikus. And you actualyl got the correct amount of syllables. Which is rare since people seem to be unable to count when they write their haikus. Anyhoo...much love.
Nice- first haiku I’ve come across on thys site to have the amount of syllables correct! Sweet! I liked it a lot. Kewl to see these every so often. ~#6-
This is a very good haiku, full of images and the syllable count is right on. This is a very good write. Being quite in spirit and the peacefulness of nature go together quite well. -oixi
I believe a haiku should always be recognized, so I offer you a thumbs up on yours. A very nice job. I believe though that there should be a semi colon after palms. Don't take my word for it though, relative new at it myself.
Well I liked this Haiku. I suck at them and have only manged to write one, but that was for a class and it went on some drawing of a fish I did and I forgot it. I liked your words and they way you discribed things. It always shocks me a bit when people can write such beautiful Hiakus.
in creative writing class we had to do some sort of "tree/nature/spiritual" haiku...it was different, believe me...all i gotta is i wish i read this b4 so u coulda helped! good job-this is a perfect example of what our teacher wanted us to do-not completly describe what we were writing about, but somehow leave it open for interpretation(sp?) i'll be honest im not a fan of writing haikus-but this was a very good one...i guess im more of a tanka kinda girl...who knows
