Dissolving iron.

    this is nice. i use to write lots of haiku. from time to time i allow myself to write such again.

    my only problem here is the period, i suggest it to be this way:

    iron cuts, trees fall,
    wood flames heating crucible -
    dissolving metals.

    my thoughts, your call. i just avoid using the same noun within the same line, stanza or poem.

    thanks for sharing and keep writing.

    A nicely done haiku. I faltered over iron, but indeed it is two syllables so nice job. I like the image it leaves me with.

    I don't have a poem called memories, I don't think.
    I like this one... At first it was hard to understand, but I tend to be that way with haikus as they are layed out strangely.
    Thanks for entring.

    haiku's always amaze me in the way they can get a point across, with only a few words. you've displayed this rather well in this piece! i like the using of the word crucible - where many would use something simple to get their point across you chose something more complex and precise to do it. i'm impressed :] thank you for entering!
