    THis sucked! It was terrible!! I hated it?! Where are you getting this crap?!?!


    jus' kiddin'. There were so many nice things I jus had to spoil it. Wonderful images. I usually would say that about a Haiku only because usually you can't put too much imagery into three lines. You did it wonderfully. And because haikus are so demanding of syllables, their hard to critique unless it's on spelling and I think you've got that down. Obviously you don't use much punctuation in your poems. Try to in your next poem.

    This is amazing and so sensual, so true to what they want. Maybe I should have read this before entering so that my hopes would not be broken, because I wouldn't have enetered! It is truely wonderful and I applaud you greatly.

    Excellent!

    Very nice, with excellent... duality! I enjoyed this very much.
    To David, (hello!)
    The wonderful thing about haiku, lies not in the few words that are written, but in the volumes that are not... the 'meal' is often served in what is left 'unsaid'. That's one of the things that makes writing haiku an excellent challenge!

    Good luck in this contest, oneluckygirl! Lovely haiku!

    My warm regards,

    My personal opinion is that all haikus are on the nose! But that's just me. Fed a pretzil when you really yearned a meal. That said, this is a very sensual bit of writing. Had it really been sex, someone would now be having a quite glare, muttering, Is that it?
