Very nice ...
although how I got here I don't know. I didn't click on this intentionally. But that's okay. It's a good job anyway.

Interesting!
I like this this, it made me stop and think!

Very well written haiku - certainly makes sense - liked the modern route you took here. So many quilted blocks make up the whole quilt - just like in life.

Really like this haiku. The metaphor of a quilt for the maze of life is so perfect. My only suggestion is to remove all the periods i.e. the full stops at the end of L1, L2 and L3. Also, you need to put a hyphen to show the juxtaposition at the end of L1. Thirdly, the capitalised alphabets need to be minimised. I like the alliteration in L2. A beautiful piece of work here! This does perfect justice to quilt number 8.
All the best,

I really like how you interpreted this quilt-block image, Wings, and the metaphor of a quilt overall as a "maze of life" is just perfect. I've been researching quilt patterns some for a poem I'm working with, and the history of some of these patterns and quilts overall is just amazing.
Thank you so much for this wonderful entry and your contribution to the haiku-quilt!
