    Good Job

    I like it. I'm not much for haikus but for a haiku i thought you fit a lot of meaning into a few lines.
    Remember tell it "From The Heart"

    Bang up to date with theme and bang up to date with haiku style. Conveys the music shuffling between tracks in random mode and the effect of the music on the writer.

    Nice one

    This is truly a nice haiku. I like the minimalism and the juxtaposition of ‘random’ and ‘shuffle’ . You have done well in your revision, and the overall image is clearly evoked. Myron does have a point though – it has too many breaks in syntax, although it adds rhythm, LOL.

    Good luck,
    rachel

    concise

    it's lovely to see such a small and concise haiku. i like the images in it and it's modern subject matter.

    i'm not sure it conforms to the rule of only having one break in the flow of language. this one has breaks at the end of the first line and the end of the second line. you can rectify this if you wish by making sure line 2 flows smoothly into line 3.

    best wishes,
    myron.
