A clever haiku and does fit the guidelines for this contest, I think. I am never sure anymore as they all are different and none are really what the Japanese call haiku. This is clever. Best wishes in the contest, my friend~Debbie

Gypsy,
I love this haiku. I love the rain especially when I hear it hitting on something. So soothing. That is how I felt reading your haiku. Thank you so much for allowing me that. Best wishes in the contest.
Blessings,
Darlene

Gypsy

I can understand about hearts on a windowpane, seems like that is the only hearts I get anymore. Maybe because I am older and I don't just settle. But a good Haiku I like the raindrops breathing on the windowpane. Thanks for the read and happy writing.

A Haiku: A 13-word poem. This poem speaks of raindrops striking on a window pain. Although the writer feels the knocking of raindrops along the window pane,
it seems it does not matter much to the writer, which to others, remind of painful memories

Great Haiku. The title is perfect for Haiku standards. As an FYI this type of poetry doesn't allow for pictures. It's creators, the Japanese, wanted the three lines only to provide the imagery for the reader. They felt if there was titling other than the first line-which you did right as well as pics the mind would already be thinking and so true indeed. I think it's great and if you take the picture out I will up the stars. Otherwise it isn't really a Haiku-right. Some people allow it but it makes it not as it originators wanted. It will be a five star. You are very talented with this type I want to say too.

Lovely little metaphoric poem portraying heartbeats of the sounding of the raindrops. Presents such vivid picture and sound imagery that brings a coziness and
warmth to be inside out of the rain looking outward at designs it makes. liberty justice

Gypsy;
- I just wanted to let you know that a true haiku does not use personification. However I think in this particular contest it's okay.
-I just love your outstanding photographs of the rain on the windowpane and on their ground or pavement. They really are appropriate, relative and complementary to your writing. A fantastic choice to set the mood and tone for your haiku.
-your first two lines of your haiku are grammatically interconnected and shown imagery that is exquisitely expressive and vividly and demonstratively descriptive.
- your third line or what some call a satori dish your writing that aha moment, which is an excitement and a freshness to the haiku and also summarizes the relativity of the concept of the haiku.
- I really liked it very much.
- thank you for sharing and posting and good luck in the contest Gypsy and may the Lord be with you always make your friend.

This is a very good haiku you have penned for the contest. The words you used on this was very good. It told a story in such few words. Great job and good luck in the contest. Hugs, Teri

A sensitive haiku of raindrops that knock lightly on the window but don't come in with the love of nature in their hearts. Well written with wonderfully descriptive words and true to form!

Hi Gypsy, the only thing I wasn't sure about is the last line. Did you mean to say breath or breathe? Other than that, a lovely poem. It's fun to watch raindrops move down a window.
