I enjoyed reading your haiku on the sunflower. Good job with the prompt. I like the artwork. It is fitting. Your words paint a great picture.

I see no changes. Best wishes in the contest.

Good

sunflower
reaches heavenward with rising sun
resurrection
--> since the word 'sun' is already used in the word 'sunflower', I would suggest replacing it with another word -- perhaps:

sunflower
reaches heavenward with rising day
resurrection

(or 'orb', etc.) Which also reinforces that idea of 'resurrection'...?

Just a thought. Otherwise, beautiful job. And LOVE the photo!!

Good

Nice imagery, formatted nicely and inspiring insight.

I really have no criticism, as it's a lovely haiku.

I gave it 4 stars, as I like it, but am not 'wowed' by it.
