People mistake Haiku for simplicity, when it actually takes as much thought as writing a sonnet or another syllable related poetic ensamble. I love this "little" poem. 5-7-5. Perfect Haiku, proper publication, and beauty being described in terms of sadness. "Simply" brilliant. Bravo, and way to win the contest.
lol. I don't really like haikus only because there are rules with the syllables and stuff. I don't like poetry with rules. That's why I prefer freeverse. But the poem is great! I loved it! Great job and keep writing!
This made me cry... Me and a friend of mine are going through this right this second. He's freaking out because he thinks he'll die alone. I told him I loved him and that I'd never let that happen... Great write, Nicole.
I enjoyed this even though i you say there is a mistake..i love the picture up there as well..it ties the haiku together by placing a visual..i love it..short, sweet, and to the point..i enjoyed the read..
Well From One Word-Play Poet To The Next...Always Remember To Write With Your Heart!
Oooh, I feel tingles. "Whisper in my ear"... I don't know why, but that sounds so sensual. Anyways, awesome haiku! I like the meaning behind it. It's just so deep. :)
I usually write poetry and short stories, yet I always come up with good ideas for novels. I did have a long biography on here,but when Charlie deleted everybody's work off of here on Friday the 13th,.. more..
