It's such a gentle verse to go with that awesome picture. Lovely. The perfect Sky-ku!
Exceptional! Well-wrought! Haiku (or Skyku, in this case) is among my favorite poetic forms. This one's extra special! Love is often intricately woven, and can be a spider's web or a comfy knitted sweater, depending on the care and intention of the weaver. I sense a warm and meaningful universe here!
Made me think of constellations, connecting the stars! This is great DK:)
PS. Made me think of this 😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77R1Wp6Y_5Y
Best one yet! Hope it wins 😁
This is excellent--the final line is full of poignant pathos of which its precedents gave no hint!
I like the way this haiku makes the connection between the old and the new. Nice writing D.K. Hope this one gets the recognition it deserves !
Beautiful DK!! That final line just left me at war with myself, both heartbroken and warmed with the sentiment.
Such gorgeous and work, D.K.! I can almost touch the longing in this one. You are right - great minds think alike! =) <3
Awww, sometimes it do be like that. Loved your Haiku!
Stunning, romantic, bittersweet and wonderful. An exceptional entry to the challenge, DK!
Romantic and quietly attuned, this feels like a daily observation and not a grand gesture, which is all the more affecting. Beautiful work.
Swoon! I thought this was beautiful....
Oh my. That last line is perfect. Well done.
Gorgeous - may steal to use on my wife later
Awww, I just loved the idea of this!! Wonderful :)
This is lovely and the most cosmic join the dots I've ever heard of.
Oh be still my heart. DK, you are a poetic genius. When I saw the title, I genuinely thought this would be some satirical thing about cables ruining the night sky. But, you made it magical and special. Well done. Really really impressed by it. :)
