a shooting star's hope,
dropping the coin in the well---
birthday candles blown

I really like this one. Nice use of alliteration. There is a lot for the reader to think about in just four lines. Thank you for sharing your talent with us and for your kind comment. Keep on writing! Karen

This is wonderful, Brandee! Three chances to make a wish that most of us will not pass up. Like John said, this has universal appeal! Great job! Love, Robin

Love the notions here, Brandee: such universal appeal! I certainly don't need to wish for a solid haiku here for it shines through with certainty. Warm regards, John

Nice hopeful imagery, in such a few words. I love the Haiku ,big image in so few words, two connecting thoughts that complement each other. Good work. Judy Riley
