    Poem Commentary

    My second attempt at Haiku. Please be gentle.

    Love Haiku


    Locked in frail petals 
    Your smile ignites its blooming
    My heart, a flower
    -M. Jacobs

    Another great Haiku. You are good at these. I have several myself. They're harder than they look, wouldn't you agree? Great job...K

    They do take a little more figuring. Not exactly writing down everything that gushes out. I have found the process of elimination helpful. TY for noticing mine and I will surely get over to your page to read more.

    Yes, I am addicted to them. How did you know? I love writing them... they are difficult and sweet all at the same time. Thanks for your support.

    I have never tried the 5/4/5, sounds really hard, but I want to. You may have started something..TY

    Marion - To be honest, I've never been a big fan of Haiku. But the more I read - the more I like ... You capture so much in this with so few words. Very Nice! :) Ken

    Yes, thanks. I think this one is an improvement for me. I just started trying this style. Never realizing how difficult it really is to perfect it. TY

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
