Arise and be all that you dream - Flyleaf


I dip my fingers
Into pools of unknown depths,
Then dive in head first.

I really love haikus because they're short and sweet! I love how interesting yours is, and it seems very mysterious. Great job!

"To these the past hath its phantoms,
More real than solid earth;
And to these death does not mean decay,
But only another birth"
- Isabella Banks

This haiku is so wonderful and inspiring :) I really love the comparison of stepping out oif one's comfort zone to diving into water without a marker ;) It was really beautiful and fun, and simply amazing. Please keep writing, this is just flawless ^_^

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I like the fact that it's a haiku (perfect for the particular topic you're writing about, and also, I love haikus), beautifully written, great metaphors. I'm rating it 5/5, very happily.

once again i love the simplicity. my favorite part is how it starts out light and then literally "dives in head first".

I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions. - James Michener

I LOVE this! Haikus are hard for me to write, I just can never seem to find the right words. You are fabulous at them. It is so short, yet it carries so much meaning. Great job!
