Haiku (silent dew drop clings)

Comment from Dawn Munro
Ahhhhhh... a lovely haiku. The satori is especially clever, but the 'crystal clear' dew drop clinging is what paints the picture in imaginations -- I'm not surprised it placed in the contest. :) Nicely done.

Hello DD
This is a fine haiku you're written
with excellent imagery and description of the dew drop
and solid use of alliteration
There is a tension present as we know the dew drop will in time fall
and the vision will go with it
Nicely done
good luck in the contest
Robert

Comment from Galactia
Hi
This is a lovely written poem. Perfect 5'7'5 syllable count. I am not sure if this is actually classified as a Haiku due to the fact of your last 2 lines...
to hold firm its point of view
crystal clear vision
I hope it is. and wish you well in the contest
Regards
Tia

Awesome what can be conveyed in so very few words. This is beautiful. I like poetry that doesn't need pictures...this clearly is one of those. Wonderful entry!!

Comment from BOO ghost
About nature.
Yep. Dew is moisture and a liquid.
From the dew point perspective, nature looks crystal clear.
Clever haiku.
You done great! All about dew.
Maybe we should exercise a clear point if view.
If we took the time to appreciate Mother Nature and life.
An amoeba in the sickle cells.
Time only lasts for one season, then evaporated like the dew on the lillies.

Comment from Mitchell Brontė
A wonderful Haiku, the imagery created of these dew drops is just incredible.
Sprinkled with alliteration in the first and last lines which enhances the musical elements that flow throughout.
Best wishes

Comment from Mark D. R.
I like it a lot, but I am not so enamored with your font choice (the italics are fine). As I am a novice in writing Haiku, I am still aware of word choice(s) in writing the same. I do often try to experiment with altering the sequence or word structure for my three lines with similar wording to make it 'sound better.' Mark Twain once said something similarly to: "Why use 'metropolis' for three cents when you can use 'city' for less."
So your second line might be amended to change 'point of view' to 'viewpoint' but then you will need to add an extra syllable if you want seven in this line (firmly?). Enjoy your weekend.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was a really lovely, visual haiku, DD, and one I could appreciate. It's true what they say about these, if you write it correctly, you shouldn't need an illustration to go with it. Yours was lovely. Good luck in the contest. :) Sandra xx
