In exquisite verse, Jan, you evoke the longing for sunshine that resonates within me. The elegance with which you portray the rejuvenating power of spring showers is truly remarkable, despite the melancholy truth that they are a necessary catalyst for growth.

You captured spring showers well Jan, sadly they're needed to make everything grow again. Just back from Norway, thankfully I didn't need a brolly but it was quite cold at times. The highlight of the cruise was meeting Anne-Lise in Haugesund. Tom

This is delightful, Jan! I’ve never seen a haiku sonnet before (you deserve a lot of credit for trying all these formats) and you have done a fabulous job with it! Best of luck in the contest…
