Thank you, Hanitra for your comments. I guess I'm hooked on the " _ku" I 've been writing haikus since 1999. I just started writing questionkus. I honestly love this form of writing. Thanks again and have a happy new year.

And now the summer's faded and springtime finally grieves. There's nothing left for us to do but watch as autumn leaves. Beautiful poem Hanitra.

No worries from me, rules are made to be bent, I am more interested in the emotions you have captured. Thanks as well for the advertisement, I would be thrilled if others gave it a try.
