    I've been enjoying your all of your haiku here! I want to wish you all the best in your upcoming bar exams. It will be grueling, no doubt. Take some of this soft yellow resolve along with you!

    An important point here - that the pliable survives best.

    Determination and strength come in many forms. Well done. I see from Barb's comment that you are about to take the Bar Exam. Good luck.

    I really like how you used the change in texture in the first and third lines of the haiku. Very effective.

    I enjoyed that. Makes me think of the effects of sunlight on stone and how it softens these objects.

    true... didn't think of that... but sometimes the way sunlight strikes objects does make them seem warmer, smoothing out the rough and sharp edges. thanks for the comment, sandycarlson. :)

    If you have half as much talent taking tests as you do in crafting haiku, the bar will be a piece of cake!
