Excellent

Your "air" poem is well done. The alliteration is wonderful...."winds, whip, whirl, waves" and then "fierce, force, flies". It is amazing that you can accomplish this in only three lines! The illustration is perfect as well. Good luck!

A very well-written 3-5-3 poem. Strong winds bring change in the weather. For us it means Spring is approaching and summer rains will come soon.

You pulled no punches with the abundance of alliteration in this 3-5-3 contest entry. You also used great word economy to maximum effect to paint a clearly vivid scene, with or without the picture.
Not an easy thing to do.
You managed to pull it off nicely.
Best of luck to you in the contest.

The tumultuous expression that the wind perfectly represents. Flow, blow, move, soothe, stamp out the stagnation we allow ourselves to imbue. A great piece

The poems haikus are in fact very difficult because there are the simplification of the idea, Japanese in all its long culture have provided of I improved that they are known, many of it real works of art and many of use in well-known sayings, I liked yours, congratulations

This painted a very, vivid picture in such a few words. Brought back memories of surviving hurricanes on the gulf coast. Good job!

great feel and use of alliteration in this short poem. It describes the picture beautifully. Favorite line - Whips and whirl in waves. It is hard to review short poems so I just say I liked it.
