Comment from sgalletti
This is a really lovely haiku. I love the image of wilted wildflowers with a pollen dusted kiss. It is so unique and creative. Little boys do the most amazing things to please us, don't they? I have to share a little story. I always write a piece before reading any other contest entries. I did that for this contest, and after working on it quite a bit, posted it. Mine was titled "haiku (wilted wildflowers)". Then, I saw your entry and went "OOOPS!" and went back to the drawing board. So, I have an extra affinity for your lovely piece. Best of luck in the contest. Sue

I enjoyed your poem. Good job with the syllable count. The picture is perfect as is the pollen kiss.
Good job. No changes. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Debbie Noland
Spectacular imagery in the pollen-dusted kiss--so many distinct senses represented there. That, rather than the flowers, is the real gift here--the flowers are just a vehicle. A very tender haiku moment.

This was gorgeous, and moved me to tears. Awesome image of wildflowers "with a pollen dusted kiss" from a little boy to his mom. Fantastic imagery and photo.
This would make an excellent contender, thank you so much for joining us.
Love, Y.
