So simple but so powerful, D.K. Great job!
Well-wrought! The play on words and the deeper meaning here are exquisite.
It's so impressive how you wrapped the concept of this poem up into so few words. Remarkable skill here!
Senryu perfection
Beautiful and appropriate Haiku. Nicely Done DK.
Your ability to convey such depth and clarity in just 11 words is remarkable—and the quote doesn’t just cap it off, it elevates the entire piece with seamless brilliance
I'm impressed with the level of depth and clarity you achieve in just 11 words and again, the quote helps elevate it, rather than just feeling shoved on at the end! Well done, DK!
So much depth in those few words. Well done, D.K!
That is a great haiku! So true and yet profound in simplicity, great job!
