Hello Mary,

I remember reviewing your previous post, I think. These lines have the same serene 'nature' flavor to it,

Best wishes for the contest. Hope you win, dear. :)

Until next time,

Sonali

Hello Jackarrie, Your poem has lots of great imagery within. I especially liked:

placid lake of blue
(An excellent start and first line)

I also liked:

solitude exudes
(there a lot to be said for solitude, especially when its peaceful.)

Perfect line and syllable count. As this is a contest entry, I wish you good luck. LateBloomer

To Jackarrie,
In the midst of tranquility we sometimes find ourselves overcome by the hues that enter the ebony skies as another day comes to a close.

Excellent choice on the blue background - very much adds to the poem. Pretty visual - you can anticipate the changing colors as the sun sets and shadows move. Wishes for good luck. AT=/

This poem paints a vivid picture of the color/light show of evening by a lake-side. It brought to mind a personal experience at a lake in Glacier National Park.

This is an interesting prompt and there are some excellent entries. I didn't count syllables, but did look for the poetic devices in the two three line poems as well as the attention to the imagery as described in the prompt. You did an excellent job. Nice concrete imagery sets the mood of the poem well. Good luck in the contest. Sue

This double haiku creates such a serene and gentle mood. I was mesmerized! I like the word choices here and the repeating oo sounds throughout, which seem to add to the cool, calm feeling. Ths is beautiful.

I love your blue background, it suits very well. And I like your entry about a lake too, I just read another one as well. Will be a difficult choice. Best wishes for the prompt.
