(please help..the second line needs another syllable? I'm stuck) sunflower's eyes roam chasing sunlight's favor shamelessly flirting (are these things supposed to be puncuated?) fall, paper petals ink of age on yellow sheets lost love letters speak For all who watch.Dare you say hello? Come in and ask the questions that are on your mind, but spare me your judgement until you truly sipped of me. |

hey...not sure about the punctuation thing, but you can add your syllable by changing "chasing" to "in chase of"! and Beautiful work, Jen! |

i'm not so sure about punctuation either but i do know that each line in a haiku should be a complete thought in itself..so i guess if you achieve that, then punctuation doesn't matter?? and both are credible attempts..i liked the second senryu lots... |

I often us a comma simply to force a pause when reading. My only other comment is, that fall in s/2 could be ambiguous. Is it the season, Autumn or a dropping? You write beautifully, Temptress.

May I suggest: sunflower's eyes roam chasing hersunlight's favor shamelessly flirting I don't believe that there are hard and fast rules on punctuation, perhaps if you need them to make your words clear, then you could put them in. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

well. . . I'm going to argue that the first is a haiku, and that the second is a senryu. . . but. . . I'm sure that there are others who can speak better to that. . . I like these. . . they're good for some of your first ones. . .just remember, you don't have to have punctuation. . . and, just find the flow. . . ok??? good. . . ------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

I have a small suggestions and an answer about the punctuation. no punctuation just write what your heart desires no need for commas ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ May I suggest your second line read: chasing sunlight's warm favor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You have written a wonderful dualistic set here Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |
