We're always willing to second guess what people say to us that may seem harmful or hurtful at first glance, but not so much as we review it. We especially do this with people we hold dear to our hearts, regardless if we know them or not. This haiku conveys just that.

Congratulations, this was well thought out and done.

Interesting swing from line one to three. Well written haiku. MD:77.

I read your stuff a lot and this is the first time i comment because i think you deserve to know that im out there and that i really like what you write. But, man, you really get a lot of comments! I guess a lot of ppl can see that your stuff is really good...unless youre one of those attention-hungry people that reviews everyone with the same basic review so that she gets comments back... lol jk.

seriously, great work!

In love's abandonment lies reflection

As to values we would assign their choice

For in the sway that mortality holds

Lies no assurance of a vision clear

So if red heart is torn with affection

It is a chance for clear soul to rejoice

For it's a happiness that each day molds

Irrespective possession of what's dear

a question erupts when something goes wrong...

nice...

is it?

Great job. Short and sweet which some of the best are. Great job. keep up the good work.

I like going from hand to heart... interesting and well written

It's a question so many of us, unfortunately, have to ask.

it works well as a haiku; I agree with whomever said that before.

"Dismissed from heart," That line just feels like a quick filler for the ending. Haikus are tricky; syllables shouldn't take the place of meaning. Don't get me wrong; the rest is brilliant, but there must be a better way to clinch this poem. Just think about it; it may come to you. Overall, this was an interesting haiku. Good job.

Good question, and it makes a great haiku.

brilliant, as your work always is. I love Haiku's and yours are always great. Keep it up

It was so simple, which made it so effective!

That was really good!

very good and simple
