Thanks for sharing your poems, Duncan. I have already commented on the second one. I am afraid I don't have a lot to say about the other two except this: the bedst haiku usually present a particular experience or scene, whereas these two are more generalized than particular. You might try to write about particular experiences you have had and then paint the picture so it puts the reader there with you to share the experience. Hope this helps! Lee
