Congratulations in winning the contest. I think this line "brush your soul like butterfly wings" is fabulous. A very deep sentiment in a short number of lines.

Thank you, amada. Winning was nice, but hearing a reader say a line is "fabulous" is the best thing a writer can hear as you know. Rod

I love the picture. The hands our how we usually show our first signs of love. We tenderly hold a fresh bloom. We gently caress a child's cheek. We timidly hold a new lover's hand. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

Comment from adewpearl
Great pairing of art and poem, which is in excellent 5/7/5 syllable count
excellent use of enjambment to make this one flowing, continuous thought
good alliteration and assonance in butterfly brush
vivid detail that conveys a tender romantic mood well

Comment from Bill Schott
This five - seven - five touches on the part of love that we sometimes forget about. We love those initial and powerful feelings that ignite one's senses when just a touch can open every pore to possibility. Nice.

that very moment
when her fingers brush your soul
like butterfly wings
Nicely composed haiku for the contest. I liked the line- when her fingers brush your soul.
Good luck in the contest... John
