That was awesome! Your haikus are wonderful! How you fit this much meaning and depth in a poem with so few words, I'm clueless! This poem really explained to me what haikus are. Thank you. ^-^

I have no words. This is absolutely brillaint. As a wordy person myself, I often fail to appreciate the simple beauty and genius haikus. This one has defnitely almost has me changing my mind.
Dude that was the deepest thing that I have ever heard in a haiku. Because that is so true. It doesn't matter how many words you put into something, all that matters is the amount of emotion and meaning behind the words you say. This haiku is genius.
Ah, my child, you have reached enlightment. *gong* -_- XD I'm happy to have opened your eyes to open your eyes with the beauty of haiku. I love the genre of haiku. I find them fascinating. How someone can express so much in so little. By the way, I've written tons of haikus lately like this one. Makes me seem psycho for haikus. You should totally write one. Or many. Once you start, you can't stop. Thanks for the feedback, Lexus. ^u^

Hey hey hey, buddy ole' pal! You know my feelings towards haikus and you also know that they are growing on me as I read them. I think this one may be a deal-breaker for me as it has opened my eyes. I would try to make myself write them or just enjoy them and I was like there are SO little lines, even less than the smallest poems I've read, and I just did not understand haikus. But I'd read them and they grew on me. This one just said it all and explained to me why haikus are haikus and why I should treasure the little beauties and not take for granted their length as they mean a lot. And I agree with your author's comment and I thank you for opening my eyes, wise one. (:
