What a brilliant haiku! :D

This is quite a powerful haiku and I really like it. Personally I think its meaning is that you shouldn't focus on the past as they only hold you back and that you should look to the future :)

Wow. Powerful piece. I love the meaning. Definitely something worth remembering. Excellent advice and excellently written!

Good advice. What this seemed to say to me was do not succumb -drown in the quicksand - to trivial negatives - knee-deep sorrows. That was just my interpretation, and perhaps that is not what you intended. Either way, great use of metaphors. Nice work.

Nice Haiku you got there. Any chance that you might be writing more poems?

Nicely done. Very insightful. Keep it up!

This is good advice. It's telling people to not let life get them down, am I correct? Nice work. :)

I love the image this poem portrays - very cool. By the way, thank you so much for your very informative review of my poem Tears for the Sun. I fixed the things you mentioned, so thanks.

Here now is the loyal member of Review100, to annoy their popular leader with CC!Good, follows the classic 5-7-5 style. And it actually has a theme, unlike much haiku today...Excellent advice: you clearly send the message that you should always pick yourself back up. Excellent work, commander!And quicksand is a metaphor for sorrows..like how you added that for slow-minded people like me! ;)By the way, could you check out my story, "The Adventures of Visice: Heroic Villain" to see if it is worthy to add on Review100 thing? Thanks.

good advice and very symbolic. nice work.

So true. Good haiku.

Wow. Such simplicity yet with such deep meaning. It even keeps the syllables intact! W00t. It really annoys me when people step away from the traditional methods of the haiku. Once in a while, it may be okay, but most of the time, it really doesn't do good. Oh, yeah. Thank you so much for your constructive criticism. I really enjoyed! Honestly! You are really perspective and I love that! I just edited my story now with the help of your advice. No complaints from me. Hehe. If you don't mind, would it be okay if you do this for all my chapters whenever you read them? It really helps me. I'm serious. You are an awesome editor. Thanks!

Good advice, and wonderful image. If only it was always so easy to listen to this advice... *sigh* Anyway, impressive haiku.

short yet it hit me hard... not in a dramatic sort of way, but it kind of triggered something in me even i can't explain.. though it was just eleven words but everything you wanted to know were all in there! great work, i may say! not a lot of you can make short poems that make sense and that is a talent not many can have!

good work! keep it up! :>

I love that it sounds like a hybrid of a warning and a poem. Something people should remember.
