Hello poet
Nice job on.this haiku. I love your last line especially. You've used the form correctly with 2 lines of interconnected imagery and a summation. I was just wondering if you could somehow relate the.1st two lines to your last. For example, why two palms and not just one? Does the 2 have something do do with your ending. There should be some sort of relationship between the first two lines and the ending.
Great word choice with use of the word oblivion. You don't use a 5/7/5 count but the rules say it isn't necessary
Best wishes for the contest!

    Thank you for reading my poem and for your thoughtful review. In my head I associated the two palms with a couple in the car on their way to a bar to drink away their boredom.

Congratulations on your milestone post and welcome to FanStory. Good response to the haiku prompt. The last line, as it should be in a haiku, is stunning and unexpected. Well done.

Your picture is a beautiful accompaniment to your well
written contest entry, Mystery Author. I enjoyed reading
it. I like the personification of the palms and the great
satori.
Best wishes in the contest, Jan
