    I've never read a haiku on here before but i love haikus because they're, short, sweet, and to the point....like yours! Again....amazing!

    Brilliant! I love how haikus can say so much through just 3 lines...deep meanings, the thought of being a gift rather than just a plain mistake is...a little nicer..? I dunno...but it's all very good!

    Thanks for the commment on my haiku! I shall try Tankas, but i must first find out what they are and do some research. :)

    Haikus are definately a great way to express things in just a few words, but still they leave the reader thinking. The message in this haiku was touching and very meaningful, and the simple words you used carried a message that I hope people heed. Very nice,
