If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Flawless!!!!
Another beautiful piece. Well done.
This haiku is very interesting because the title would suggest that you need help or guidance and that comes to you when you need it. It evokes a strong sense of spirituality. Well done.
A beautiful and profound haiku! Each line feels like an invitation to immerse oneself in gentleness and mystery. The sense of gift and grace is so strong that the whisper itself seems to come alive. ❤️ It's very nice that you added a clip as well!
This is lovely! Well done💕
So, so gorgeous and inspirational, Pauline! I really love the spiritual theme of this :) Beautifully done!
I love how the last word in the second line and the last line rhyme. It's such a great idea, to think of the voice in the sky, the sun and the moon as whispers of gifts waiting to be given. Well done, I love sitting and wrapping my mind around this beautiful haiku. Such a lovely entry.
Oooo, I especially loved your last line! So well done!
This is a lovely haiku Pauline. Very peaceful. Good job.
I resonate with this one
