Somewhere in the world

It's shining with glee and cheer

Why won't it shine here

The way you have brought across an emotion in such few words is really a beautiful thing. Keep writing no matter what you do. I love the simplicity but deep meanings in this.

Absolutely wonderful, NoniDoni. I think this is how haikus are supposed to be, representation of an emotion, and yours does it delightfully. Congratulations on the no 3 position, it was well deserved.

Really nice, the flow is flawless. I don't know how long you worked on this to make it as good as it is but its one of the best I've seen in a while.

Thank you so much! I enjoy receiving constructive criticism! I didn't give your haiku enough praise though! It's really good and like you said about mine, the image represents the haiku very well! Nice job being #2! Your haiku totally with no doubt deserves it! ; )

Well done! The first line conveys mysteriousness, the second gives off a feeling of hope, and the third just plummets all of that to a different level of emotions- in a good way. The picture also represents this haiku beautifully. The only thing I'd do personally, would be to merge the last line with the previous ones. Something like "something that's not here" would have been my preferred choice, but everyone's different. This is a great haiku and definitely deserves to be in the daily top voted haikus!
