    Poem Commentary

    This attempt at Haiku poetry was written in response to the UPA Challenge: (What do you see). This is my first attempt at Haiku, and I would appreciate any and all criticism on this. 

    I was trying to bring out the fact that these animals saw themselves as neither white, nor black. Their color did not affect their friendship. Why does it have to affect ours?

    Thanks,

    Marcus

    Just curious, Marcus, is that a description of an Albino? (can't tell from the picture) This is a true color 'picture in words'! I wrote some haiku you may like, and some nature naratives, and about doubt and love. Please come by and drop a line about my lines. btw,my name is Marck

    I like this it's simple but very descriptive. It makes you think about life and everything we see as different. Everyone in deed is created differently and yet we are to blind to see that no matter what we look like we all bleed red because we all are one in the same person! Well done

    I agree very beautiful imagery in so few words. I love the title especially. I have never been an outdoor type of person but as I get older I find myself longing for sunshine and looking at my surroundings with new eyes. That is what this reminds me of, looking at things with new eyes, appreciating God's touch in everything we see. Wow! You see how much this affected me? Great job Marcus Vanessa

    Thank you very much, Vanessa. I am not much of a Haiku poet, but this was my feeble attempt. Thanks again.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
