very cute. I can see many are going this route with the frog haiku!! (meaning not doing a nature scene. I sure could not come up with anything about nature really!!)

Really, I had little time to work on mine; created on the spur of the moment, a race against time. I enjoyed your take, and expect to see it on the winners' list. Regards // paul
