A well-written haiku. The poppies blooms in your Sumner time. It us a wondrrful scene to look at when the amber light cover them in eary morning or at sunset.

Great job with this haiku. Your syllable count is spot on, and the artwork you chose to accompany your poem is perfect for your words. Very well done. I wish you the best of luck in the contest.

Oh, this is six worthy haiku if ever I've read it, Anonymous Poet. My only regret for having read this beautifully rendered, perfectly constructed haiku is that I have none left to award you for your outstanding entry.
That's okay, however, because if I were a betting man (and I'm not), I'd say you have the winner here.
This is truly stunning, and it is how haiku should be done, but often isn't.

Wow! What an awesome review. Thank you very much, Dean. I don't need six stars, knowing that you like is good enough for me. :)

Exceptional

I have to give it a six. This is fantastic. Your stunning picture draws a reader in, but the poem stands on its own.

Phenomenal artistic presentation and the picture of red poppies.

Two interconnected lines of imagery and a striking satori in line 3.

This may be the winner. Loved it.

This is a nice nature poem using haiku format. I liked the picture as well. My only suggestion is, I have not seen depicting two different scenes in the fragment of a sentence in many haiku poems I read before. As I know, a single moment in the present tense is to be captured. Here you have captured two things light falling and cricket singing. Third line is fine, but I sincerely think there is some scope for improvement here as well.
Wish you all the best

Perfect poem/picture combo. Your imagery captures the details and the mood of this scene very well. The speaker seems "captivated" both literally (the fenced in yard) and figuratively.

The first line brings a spectacular picture to my mind's eye. Amber light ... exquisite!
