This haiku has great concrete imagery, with sensory references to the senses of sight and smell. The contrast between the delicacy of the floating leaf and the torrential river is striking and dramatic. Good luck to you in the contest, Jeanie Mercer

Good creation in this work, in words and matching colour with the theme of your poem. I love your kigo, it blended the work well.

Nicely done, "G", and you've seemed to comply with the vast myriad of ungodly amounts of rules this contest calls for.


You have two grammatically interconnected lines, your satori infers a seasonal reference, however, the personification with the usage of the word "you're" might be a problem for some.

Still, I enjoyed this.

Good luck to you!

    Thank you Handsome. I was thinking of the little leaf floating down the river touching here and there, like in tag-you-are it! game. I'll have to think about that one. Thank you Dean.

This is really an excellent nature haiku, and no picture is needed to be able to visualize the delicate pink leaf floating down the wild river. It's such a great contrast between the fragile leaf and the raging waters. I'm imagining this is spring time due to the pink and the river formed from melted snow.
Beautiful, and clever ending.
Amy

These always cause for remembrance. When I was a kid we would "dare" each other to wade out into the raging creek, filled with melting snow and ice, to grab something and return it. "Tag, you're it." It was a game we should not have played, although no one get seriously hurt. But there were some scary moments. This is what this piece brings to mind. And, I'm sure it had nothing to do with your thoughts in writing it!
All the best in the contest. You really nailed it for me. -bill

Well done. You made your contest with 16 syllables and did a great job. Your color scheme fits well with your poem and is as delicate as the leaf. I wish you well in your contest.
