Playgrounds are bare, no laughter and smile there...the wind pushes the swings on a rainy day. It is a very lovely written haiku. I picture those empty swings and children sitting quietly in the classrooms. Autumn leaves dancing in the rain. Well done, my friend. With love, Ella

HI Ella, my favorite flower sweet girl...I loveeeeeeee your poem you...it is soooooo true...when a woman is loved correctly...she becomes a better woman...I guess you have to give all you have until you finally realize....he never loved you....and never will...love a woman true...and it will be returned in billions...I love your poem sweet angel...and love your picture...so beautifully written...please take care...love ya you...Linda xxoo

It is a beautiful poem. Very well-written and enjoyable to read. What had happened with the atomic bomb that landed on Hiroshima is hard to take as many innocent people lost their lives or terribly suffered in pain. The flow of the poem is smooth, and it is easy to understand. The comments are provoking and insightful. The image speaks on its own. Excellent co-work. Blessings to both, Ella

Another beautifully written haiku, Andre. The image exquisitely expresses the words. The message is clear; this is what humans do to nature. Litter and destroy as the glass in the hot sun can start the fire. Excellent work. Blessings, Ella

What a strong message. I felt the confidence while reading your poem.
The imagery is beautiful but strong!
Thanks for sharing.

It is a fascinating concept and beautifully presented, Mary. The baby in the womb is a real miracle. So precious and protected. A blueprint of life. Well done. Best luck in the contest. With love, Ella

Another brilliant piece of yours, RG. Travelling back in time to songs that made sense and meant something. Music is healing and leading us to a better place. The poem is very smooth, calm and refreshing. Yes, we are One. No matter of our wealth, colour or tongue, like Imagine by John Lennon. Delightful and bright descriptions make this piece an outstanding one. Like the moon kissed the sun. All the best, my dear friend. Ella

Excellent contest entry poem, Mary. The flow is great, the rhyme and the theme, amazing. The story of Donna and the disco is superb and the image fantastic. Thank you for sharing. Best luck in the contest. With love, Ella

It is a breathtaking haiku, sweet Portia. The image is striking and vibrant like you there, almost touch the tulips. Shake the snow away to protect its beauty. Beautiful, amazing. The words crest the image. Superb work. With love, Ella
