    Perfect!

    They do look like they're smiling don't they! I like the fact that you have them winking too. You've a nice gentle feel with your Ku! Fine job.

    PANSIES are my favorite flower - love those wonderful faces and the gorgeous colours they have. Some now are so big and beautiful - just adore them and this poem about them too.

      I have a big basket of pansies on my deck. I thought they were going to die but they are all in bloom now and totally glorious!

    Pansies are my favorite flower- take pics of their pretty happy faces all the time. Liked this short write about these lovely flowers, Like writing haikus too - well done in this poem.

    I love these little poems, and I respect anybody that can fit some meaning into so little lines. The pansies haiku I really like - I'm not really a flower person, but I do like to feel connected to nature every once and again. I don't know how much more connected I could be than feeling like flowers are smiling at me. And the one about your dogs was very cute. It makes me sad that I don't pets anymore, but maybe I'll acquire some in the future. Pen on!

    These are so cute! Flowers and doggies! Two of my favourite things (though I have to say I love dogs better. Flowers just can't cuddle with you the way animals can...) Good work!!

    P.S. I want to go to the Bahamas! Take me with you!!

    These are both good haiku. I have to admit the 2nd one was my favorite b/c I, probably like you, love animals. I thought it was absolutely precious and I could see them running together in your yard to meet you as you stepped out back.
    I noticed you are going to the Bahamas~wow!!!! What a treat. I'll be expecting some good muse from you inspired by your surroundings. (I'll try not to be jealous, but it's allright to be envious, isn't it?) Have fun~vj

    The doggie piece is a senryu because it's talking more about human nature (my love for my pets and my need for them in my life) than about nature or the seasons. But I call it a haiku anyway! Take care and be happy - joanne

    Nice Haiku's- I'm just learning about them. I read that a Haiku must have a seasonal reference in it- a word that is from a certain season, like 'blooming' for spring or 'icy' for winter- I don't see one in your doggie piece!

    Thank you Jenn. I hope your realize these 2 go with the "sweetbriar short form" poem I entered earlier. I was confused about the 3 entries....I'm going away tomorrow to the Bahamas so I too will be off-line for a while. I am taking my laptop though and will hopefully get some writing done. I know about the haiku "rules" but somehow I keep retuning to the 17 syllables (more or less). Take care and God bless!

    Thank you for enterin my contest and I love the first Haiku I love Panises to me they soothe me when I look at them and the second one is very cute. There is a hint about haikus I don't know if you know they do not have to be the 17 syllable format I learn this by taking a haiku class from haikumonk. Anyways thank you again and Good luck

    Jenn
