Hi Barbara,
Autumn is my favorite season too! For sooo many reasons. I'm happy to hear you enjoyed my poem! I didn't end up winning in the contest, but that's okay. I'll have other opportunities.

Have a spectacular day,
Much love,
Keely

An excellent entry for the Haiku contest. The night you describe sounds just about perfect. The picture of the amber moon adds to the presentation. Good luck in the contest.

Hi

This looks like a good entry for the contest. Good luck with that!!

You are right. The only requirement is that it be 17 syllables. I suppose you could use one syllable on each of the first two lines and then 15 on the last line and it would still be valid.

You don't really have a storyline, but you have a pretty haiku

The image very nice and the picture painted by your words is also very nice

I guess an amber moon could happen in any of the four seasons. So maybe the last line is a surprise. Maybe it is a satori
line

I enjoyed reading your poem

Good job. Thank you for sharing.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to read my poem and for leaving a review.

I'm happy to hear my poem painted an image in your mind- that was my goal. As for the mention of it being a fall night in the last line, I for some reason had an image in my head of it being a fall night. I couldn't part with that idea for whatever reason!

Thanks again for reading my piece and for leaving feedback.

Best wishes,
Keely
