(Haiku) Mist

Nice entry for the One Line Haiku contest. You followed the rules well. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Good satori. No picture or kigo. Good luck in the contest.

Thanks for the advice! when we are on the path of grief, we must be careful for it is not only difficult but dangerous and I hope not the grief path is the last path taken. Your wisdom shines through your haiku!

Great choice of words. Just beautiful! And I think it's smart you didn't put a picture with it, it would possibly distract from the beauty of it. It really makes you think. Very heartfelt. Even the way you write it feels comforting. Good luck in the contest!

    Thank you so much. I appreciate your thoughtful words. (For this particular contest, a picture wasn't allowed. The words had to both show and tell, all on their own. I think perhaps it is a good idea.)

A dad and poignant piece that captures the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness when we are grieving a loss. We become lost souls walking on dangerous ground enshrouded in a mist of sadness.

' (Haiku) Mist , is short, succinct and delightfully descriptive. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. With a minimum of words this poet has told it as it is. Good luck with the contest. My fingers are crossed for you.

While I cannot comment on your style, I can certainly give you five stars for content. This poem hit my heart so hard, that I am still crying. This is the anniversary of a tragedy in my life. No, I'm changing it to six stars.

    Wow! Thank you so much for the six stars, I sincerely thank you for the honour, which I greatly appreciate. I am so sorry for what you have been through ... I hope that the mist clears soon, and that the sun will shine through for you.

This entry for the contest holds a lot of wisdom because many things have been done when emotions are wounded that a person later regrets. Best wishes in the contest.

You packed a lot of nuances and meaning into this contest-written poem - well done in so few words! 'Walk carefully' is a well-crafted phrase.

P.S. I am not a fan of italic script font. IMHO it is difficult to read and unnecessary even for the type of message you convey in your poem. In landscape mode on my iPad, it shows as a single line. Consider centering the text to give it a punch to its presentation for other FS reviewers.

    Thank you for your kind comments and suggestions. Strangely, on my computer it doesn't come out in Script font, although it says it is. But if that is how it shows on an IPad, I will change it. Many thanks for letting me know.

Grief-toned mist is a very descriptive and apt metaphor. You are right that grief can cloud the mind and it isn't the best time to take important decisions.
