I find that is more than sometimes - it's often the case. I really liked this poem, and I admire that you used the 5-7-5 syllable count. Thank you for sharing this haiku here, and best wishes to you.

This haiku, Recognize the Difference, presented with a 5-7-5 formatting, reminds the readers that we may be off the bead sometimes and arrive at a place we weren't going.

I don't know about you, but what we need is God. So if we plan on getting to know Him, its a good thing to plan the time. I am doing a devotional right now that is wonderful to watch and read. I find if I plan to take time to watch this video, I also need His wonderful guidance. Does that make any sense to you/

Excellent entry for the Haiku Poem writing prompt contest.

I like the presentation too. Concrete images easy to visualize.

Good syllables count and connection between lines.

Good luck in the contest.

These words are so very true as we can be our own worst enemy at times, we don't attend to our needs properly and overindulge when we shouldn't a poignant write, love Dolly x

This idea works well as a subject for your Haiku. It is loaded with food for thought, but said simply, leaving room for the reader to fill in their own thoughts. Nicely done.

Comment from Kerry Foley Robinson

Poor

Hello there. This is not a haiku my friend. Nice thoughts, but a haiku:

#1 Title. haiku (name of poem)

#2 Punctuations. There are none used in haiku

#3 Capitalization. None can be used, only: proper nouns.

#4 Must be about nature, human nature is a senryu

#5 Must have a Kigo (seasonal reference)

#6 you have to many meaningless words for haiku (and, the... these are usually left out for the simple reason of few words. You want to get the most out of your words so they need to be chosen wisely.)

#7 There is no Satori

#8 The first two lines need to interconnect, and come to a complete thought. It can not trail into the last line.

If you fix it, message me and I will change your rating.

Kerry

Beatles and Rolling Stones have songs and quotes that could support this poem. So those are the people that immediately imagined as i read. Few words with very powerful. Good job! Excellentwriting!
