AH, this haiku is so rockin'.  I love it.  I love fairy tales and I just think this throws such a twist into fairy tales and I love it.

Awesome! It goes like Bam! It's really truly, what I love best about this is your creativity and how the idea is perfect to put into a Haiku cause sometimes Haikus seem so choppy...this is perfect.

Good job. I found your word choice of "bankrupt" to be interesting, and definitely breaks out of the "cliche" idea.

A beautiful haiku! Perfect, succinct, and totally true. Nice use of words to reveal a insightful thought. Would you please comment on my poem titled Without the Writer? It isn't a haiku, but I would love your feedback... :)
