 letyoursoultakeflight 2009-12-01 . chapter 2Really like this one :) |
 Mirabella 2009-12-01 . chapter 6This seems very faery. :) |
 Mirabella 2009-12-01 . chapter 5LOVELY! |
 Mirabella 2009-12-01 . chapter 3I like this one!
Lovely image and idea. :) |
 Mirabella 2009-12-01 . chapter 1So beautiful! |
 lenavis 2009-11-18 . chapter 8here is haiku for you:
holy fricking crap
is there no writing style
that you can't pull off?
this is a far cry
from the dumb haikus we wrote
while in the third grade |
 Isca 2009-04-10 . chapter 10Oh, willows are one of my favourite trees, so naturally I liked this one. :) |
 Isca 2009-04-10 . chapter 9"Shadow-scented pockets." Not only was this line striking because of the imagery, but I liked your use of kenning as well. |
 Isca 2009-04-10 . chapter 6Wonderful haiku. The tone is both spiritual and mysterious. I liked the pagan undertones here. |
 Isca 2009-04-10 . chapter 4"Our old language" connected perfectly to "I spoke no word." That's the point--the earth does not speak in tongues, but in silence. Brilliant point. |
 Elephant-Artist 2009-03-08 . chapter 1Elude is a good word to use. It was so short that I couldn't believe how strong the poem is since it is so short. You have 91 reviews now. I don't even have hardly 3 between 4 stories and 2 stories have no reviews at all. Please review my stuff. |
 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 10Punctuation at the end of the first two lines, but no period at the end. Tragedy. The punctuation could have harmonized all of it!
This one was definitely not as good as the others. All of the images presented here are unoriginal. :( Swaying fields... random nature images. Disappointing end to this collection. Your others were much better.
Overall, your haikus are incredible. I generally don't like haikus that much. But you are a master of simple imagery and clever wordings. :D Please continue writing them!

Attack of the review marathon! (link in profile) |
 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 9I love the unity in this, again (I feel like all I do is say the same thing over and over again)... the way it starts with dream and ends with sleep - harmony throughout. Ties it all together. Is good. :D
"Shadow-scented pockets" is beautiful. :D I like it a lot. Great image.
If you have a semicolon in the first line, why can't you put a period at the end? Hmm?

 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 8The first time I read this, I didn't like it. But the second time I read it, I realized that you wrote the world of sun-shriveled ink... and I realized that I did like this, actually. That is an awesome image, that you wrote an entire world into exist. Great job there! :D
"Salty pages" hearkens back to the sea, and ties the two together. Also, a nice image. Great job!

 Jesse the Storyteller 2008-12-27 . chapter 7"Sunlight sleeps on grass" is a brilliant image. Way to go! I love it. Same with "Curls into warm shadows" and "ageless trees". These haikus are gold because they are filled with tiny clever wordings. You have talent!
I wish you had continued the unity in this haiku like you have in others, though... sunlight and warm are both heat images, and sleeps/curls are both cozy images... but the last line has none of those. :(
