Misty Morning Fog dawn's bitter echo weeping willow’s silent wail ... misting eyes beseech painful memories I should have begged her to stay ... mourning most mornings

Congratulations on your winning Haiku, Mark. It's very well expressed. Others should claim its value.

I appreciate your kind words of encouragement, Lin. Congratulations on the enchantment and wonder displayed in your winning haiku "diamonds strung on shrubs."
