Love the fish while they are jumping, while the frogs croack Beautiful penning. Merry Christmas my friend. To you, Sara and all your beloved ones. María

I love the picture and the calming effect it brings. The trees are always a cool shade away from so many things. Fish jumping signifies they are breathing happily in that pond. They should not jump too high, my net might be so close.

Very picturesque haiku this is, i can see and hear all that through your words woven so beautifully and in such a vivid manner in just few syllables, very creative of you. I see you too are brilliant at weaving haiku just like your soulmate. That picture goes so well with the haiku too. I loved this: pleasure reading your work always
