An endless, dark void
Shimmering, gleaming diamonds
Cover its surface

The stunning night sky

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

I'm afraid I have been quite tedious in fulfilling my promise to you. I implore you to excuse this lateness. Now, The Haiku: I loved your imagery. It is indeed breath-taking. Share more poetry.

"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent."
-Victor Hugo

My first impression of this poem is that your ideas are incredibly unique! First of all, in line one you describe the sky as being a "dark void" which stands in stark contrast to the popular belief that the sky is a big, happy, open place. That is the first quirk to the poem. Second of all, the mood of the piece drastically changes when you describe the stars and such as being "shimmering and gleaming diamonds." This pretty much immediately projects a courageous, bright sense to the work because, you know- who doesn't like diamonds? Then, the last line in the poem kind of returns the reader to a sort of middle ground... you say "the stunning night sky." I feel that this coda, in a sense, is describing the sky as being not AMMMAZZING but not awful. Therefore, it is a middle ground between the two extremes touched upon in your work. That is what makes this poem so odd (in a good way of course!). You caused the reader to explore the three different perspectives of emotion in only 13 words. So, CONGRATS! Great job on the poem... it's an incredible, short but sweet piece! Write on~!!!

  I like the symbolism here! I’ve never seen a haiku done with the extra line like that before, but it was very interesting and you made it work well. :)

I like it. I do however, dislike the way that it was so short. But, like IDani-IBeauty said, I'm also not a big fan of haikus.

Really good imagry and description. I'm really bad with haikus but this is really good. The night sky is usually just passed by and not given a second thought, but this really shows the beauty within it.
