We got to see a bit of this phenomenon on the coast among the overcast. I"m glad because I doubt that I'll be around in 2033 to see the next triple play! You captured the event well and emphasized it with your colorful presentation. You even added a bit of alliteration to your 5-6-5 haiku. I hope it did/does well in the contest. Cheers and have a serene weekend- Joan

Thanks Joan, the contest is over, I was second, I waited up to see the eclipse from Spain, I guess I won't be around either in 18 years, but then who really knows. Mary

I'm glad you could see it in Spain--you're right about not being able to predict the future. My husband thinks we'll be here in 18 years, but I'll be 90 years old! Congratulations on your second place--that is a fine accomplishment. Hugs- Joan

Excellent job in the penning of this Haiku. Your syllable count is spot on and the message says a lot with very few words. I have read all of the entries and found this to be the best. My very best to you as I go and vote. Blessings......Portia

Hello :)

I like your haiku. It adheres to the rules, as far as I can see. Good job with the syllable count. The satori is not an aha moment but a nice observation. Good kigo. Well done!

I enjoyed your haiku. The color scheme works well. Good job on the syllable count. Your satori is strong.

I see no changes. Best wishes in the contest.

The first two lines seemed "typical" of many poems--believe this poem comes "alive'" with the last line -- "heavens all aglow." Not sure if you meant it, but seems to have a double meaning (heavens as in the sky and heavens as in the place God lives.) Very effective

Thanks for your review but it is changed because I had not two connecting lines.

This has good concrete imagery, and it is on a topic of current interest. That was spectacular, wasn't it? Good luck to you, Jeanie Mercer

Hi. Nice mirroring reflection of how autumn and moon sees itself. Its quite a sight to see the red tint on the moon as if perhaps, the color comes from God's rage over how mankind continuously destroys the world. Cheers.

A solid haiku poem. It fits with the criteria of syllable count and is descriptive with nature. I do like the font and background colour although the word red and autumn conjures up the colour red but a softer red. Well done and good luck.

I like how you not only describe the moon, but also bring your poem to life visually through the background and font colours you've chosen. Very nice. :)
