in all honesy nikolette i am not a critque per se, i like to think of myself as someone who reads a proof and lends some advice...so with that said....

hmmmmmmmm.....hmmm the reason im saying hmm is b/c my undretstanding of a haiku is that u must use descirptive words, no adjective, no adverbs b/c u want the reader to imagine these descriptive words not so much have the author tell them to us...something like this....

tender soft-hearted
imbedded scenery lush
graceful innocent.

now what i might have said might have been pure bs...but that is what my understanding of what a haiku is,  and sometimes it is misused...for instance another property of a haiku is that it must not pertain so much to the physicall us (humans)..but to our spiritual side or emotions or...something that is abstract i guess...nothing tangible as us..those i believe that style is called senryu's...
im not 100% sure but more like 95% sure     i read it from a poetry web site...but then again i was only suggesting  
much respect
