    Interesting haiku, I like the imagery here for example the double meaning of 'cross'. This was a well written poem but I wonder why you used the word 'sweetly', for me this has interpretations of cuteness for example a child, little old lady (I know that's a bit unpc) or an animal rather than something powerful like Christ's crucifiction, although this is just a personal understanding of the word. In general, this poem is very well written and I can't think of much to critique.
