Believe this is the first haiku of yours I have read, and I must say it is impressive! Halfway decent haiku sometimes cause me more problems than longer forms, but you are doing just dandy.

JAN, when people ask me where do you get the ideas for your poems I tell the that "everywhere I look I see a poem looking back at me." Vivid imagery ..
