How sweet are you for not getting upset at big "but in ski" me!

Thank you so much Linda and Deborah for your advice, I am so new to this and think it is just wonderful when people who actually know what they are doing are kind enough to share, Many thanks to you both

Hi there! Thanks for working on haiku with us! Please do not capitalize. line 1 the subject is ok yet you do not need the word "start" it is inferred yes? I am not being strict about the 5/7/5 as long as you have less than 17 syllables. Line 2 (very good..verb does belong in this line) please put ... or -- at the end of line 2 to indicate the cut or juxtaposition in line 3! Hope this helps! Light & Love

What a great Haiku to describe the celebration of fireworks Francine... u need some ... after burst in your second line to show emphasis on the verb action.. according to Debbie's rules... she is a TEACHER all the way through.. so hope u don't mind my telling u.. hate to see anyone disqualified because of simple ... ... the oohs and aahs I am enjoining myself right now being on vacation in lovely Hawaii... what a treat... thankxxx for your sweet comments Francine.. aloha.. "Sweetheart"
