Potent...this brings so much into my mind's eye while reading. I favor the last one "dreamsongs" being a powerful play of imagery for me. Blue

Wonderful
Very well done. Great poem for the contest. Congratulations on your honorable mention. -
That was cool I liked the last haiku haiku the most but all of them were awesome
-
Very nice! Rich imagery that embodies the Far-East! Well done dear poet.

Very nice. I especially like the progression from stridently physical ("panda bear" "bamboo" "china plates"), to less tangible ("tea ceremony" "sunporch" "glass"), to the ethereal ("calligraphy" "dreamsongs"). The poem does what haiku themselves do--connects idea and image, thing and application through justaposition. Very nice indeed.

Very nicely written, with an excllent flow. I love the backround and the aspects you chose to touch on in your piece. Nicely written!

What a lovely haiku chain, each one an elegant portrait of thought. It fits the theme so well, and I enjoyed each one!

Thank you--you write such excellent haiku your comments mean a lot and are much appreciated!

Lovely, lovely haiku-chain, Maggie. Though each of these haiku feel to draw one on the other, each stands on its own beautifully as well.
Thank you so much for this truly exquisite entry to the contest!
