Cool win, Jan. Congrats to you. I hope I can figure out about metaphors in the haiku. I have one I want to post but not sure he will see it as purely descriptive or metaphorical.

Very lovely imagery, Jan. The dolphins' arc could be compared to a rainbow heralding better things to come (the sun peeping out). Hugs // paul

Date: 5/11/2018 10:08:00 PM

Yes, Paul, you can add a haiga/picture, Jan is correct sponsors won't see until the contest is finalised. Regards haiku with a haiga please do use the former it will let the sponsor know there is an accompanying image. Mick

Jan Allison
Date: 5/9/2018 11:54:00 AM

All the sponsor sees is the words , they can only see the pic if they visit the poem and hopefully that is after the contest is judged lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Have just seen Susan's comment....is it possible to add the picture to the poem, same as when one adds a video?

Lovely, Jan. This is definitely one of my favorite forms: the interplay of a spectacular photo with a "breath" of poetry invites the reader to stay in the moment bouncing from photo to words. There is something so satisfying about the experience.

Jan Allison
Date: 5/6/2018 4:15:00 AM

Wow Line you sure were inspired by your haiku group, I think that's the best comment I've ever received on one of my attempts at this form which I struggle writing:-) hugs jan xx

lovely poem and great picture, jan! i never heard of haiga before - i gather from one of the comments it's a haiku with a picture attached?

Jan Allison
Date: 5/5/2018 3:28:00 PM

Yes it's not something I've not heard of either until I read the rules and as the sponsor can't see the picture only the poem it would be better to call them all haiku:-) hugs Jan xx

Brilliant image Jan, I forgot to mention I saw a pod off Gibraltar swim towards the ship. Good luck. Tom.

Jan Allison
Date: 5/5/2018 3:14:00 PM

oh how wonderful Tom its a marvelous sight to see, I'd love to see them again, we saw them once too:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks Eileen. I tend to stay away from blogs can't stand the negativity some people bring to the site... its no wonder people leave but rest assured I am here to stay:-) hugs jan xx

Beautiful haiku!! I can't decide about the haiku or haigu. I think I'm going back to haiku since whoever judges doesn't see the pics anyway. What's your take on this?

Jan Allison
Date: 5/5/2018 1:34:00 PM

I agree with you they should just be called haiku as they can't see the pic and I write the poems then find a pic to accompany the poem:-) hugs jan xx
