Really good. I love the imagery that comes up in the first line.
The only thing is, shouldn't it be sun rises? or am I just reading it wrong?

Picture and Haiku are perfect. Love the metaphor in the first line: "dawn peels the darkness" A good start in a poem, story always helps. Great job! Les

Egocentric

Dawn turning into bright morning
the sun is taking the change
rooster go with its task
awakening the lazy and slow moving
populace ignoring progress.

I admire your metaphor--we humans are all "deluded" and your "rooster" is a symbol for us! I enjoyed your 5-7-5 and your use of alliteration. -Joan

ameem786,
Your haiku is extremely well written with concrete imagery painting a mental picture in the readers head of nature. The art work is fitting you used. Your haiku is in fine form
with spot on syllable count. Your satori line is effective. In your haiku you have used very good metaphor and great alliteration with the D and R lines. I enjoyed the lines: "dawn peels the darkness ray by ray as the sun rise deluded rooster." I liked the cheeky humor about the dillusions rooster. He loves crowing his morning tune much like Foghorn Leghorn from Bugs Bunny Cartoons. I'd recommed your haiku poem to other readers. Thanks for sharing and I urge you to keep on writing with a creative pen. I bid you a blessed day and a prosperous New Year...Melissa.

Perfectg haidu form with the 5-7-5 and the reference to nature. Also a phrase plus a fragment and last line ends with a noun. Good alliteration with dawn, dark, deluded.
Love the image of dawn peeling darkness ray by ray. Good luck in contest.
