Crystal blue waters
Shimmering with reflections
Of the scorching orb

    Good imagery and word choice. Since the Haiku form is so short, they are sometimes hard to pull off, you have done an excellent job!

    Gem,

    I'm sure I have said this to you before, but I so envy those who can write a Haiku. So much beauty wrapped up in so few words. You did a great job on this.

    Always,
    Jeannie

    This is a wonderful Haiku. The descriptions vividly paint a brilliant picture of the golden sun's reflection on the water--as clear as crystal. Nice work, ma'dear! =]
    Love,

    Great Haiku. When I close my eyes, I can see myself laying on a raft on the cystal blue waters. Relaxing.
    BTW - that was 18 syllables. Just giving you a hard time :)
