Walks with caution.......8 total reviews
Comment from NHazelwood
From just a few words the author creates a intriguing mental picture of a winter scene that could only be observed in the still and quiet of the forest such is this poem serene and peaceful. And the picture beautifully captures for this poem in this endearing moment!

Dear Contender:
-I see you are I see your eye and the lead in the contest but I think you should be aware that there are no author's note so you may be disqualified!
-Your haiku is very intense and quite effective in the picture so appropriate to be relative to your conceptual theme.
-I hope you good luck in the contest.

This haiku, Fawn Walks Cautiously, uses some clever assonance and consonance rhyming in its three brief but poignant lines. Nice.

Hello, my friend,
You followed the rules of the contest well. Your haiku has less than 17 syllables, two grammatically connected lines, no more than one piece of art, no author notes, and a pretty good satori. Good job!

I think this is a beautiful haiku you have written. I doesn't seem to matter how many deer I see, they always seem so mysteriously beautiful to me. I do have a suggestion for the last line as I think it reads a little awkward with "the" before forest but then it would give you too many syllables. I wonder if would flow better if it read "a risk in the wood", just an idea! Good luck in the contest!

Even nature's creatures are instinctively cautious regarding peril. You seem to be reminding us of nature's first law: survival of the fittest.
May I suggest you strengthen your image by eliminating the weak verb "is" and the equally weak participle "stepping" by rephrasing lines 1-2:
the fawn cautiously
steps on to the thin ice
Much improved with the new wording.

Hi there,
I liked the observation imagery of the first two lines. Although, I have to say that I'm not sure the final line matches up. No fear, total trust doesn't sit well with cautious in my opinion. It strikes as a little contradictory.
All the best
