Good sensory words. This is a well written poem. It has good imagery and vivid descriptions. The photo image presentation supports your words well.

Best wishes ,

A lovely descriptive Haiku for the contest. Each line places the reader in the scene. I can almost hear it rushing over the rocks.
Nicely done. Good luck in the contest.

This haiku, A Rushing Stream, has the proper formatting and describes the powerful force which pushes through the forest on its way to the sea way out somewhere.

Come Spring ,the sun warms up and the snow melts

and mountain streams come alive , gushing down.

Crystal clean water gurgles and jets in all directions.

I have one such stream a stone's throw away and I love to see it in all its phases.

It snakes through my pine forest..the one in your artwork looks like it flows through woods.

One of my favorite scenes in nature and I have a place here in Maine that looks almost identical that I used to love to hike to. Your description is accurate and has me feeling the spray from that cold water. Thanks for sharing

-Nice image and presentation, Dove.
-You wrote a good nature poem.
-Effective imagery paints a good
word picture of the mountain stream
with "icy cold" and the concluding
line "spraying over rocks."
-Very well done.

Hi mountain streams are always beautiful and attractive ,on the banks are sunny and I used to lounge there and enjoy it but...the water, no its icy cold as you mention and there is no touching it except watching it flashing in the sun. It is a beautiful writing ,simple saying clearly what it intended to.

Hi Donna,

Traditionally, your title would be:
haiku (mountain stream)
I like that your line lengths aren't 5-7-5, but remain as a 17 syllable haiku, staying true to the form.

I can virtually feel the cool freshness of this mountain stream in your 5-7-5 verse. Both visually (flashing) and audibly (spraying), you capture the energy of its flow to complete a well-considered write. Well done! Debbie
