Your Haiku painted a lovely portrait of the Kalahari and the Dragon's Breath Cave Maureen. Would love to see it, so I am going to Google it. Blessings, Susan

My Dad grew up in the Kalahari, so this immediately made me think of him. Brief, but personally very appealing, nice one.

Thank you! Sure is! The world's largest non-subglacial underground lake, deep beneath the Kalahari, 100m down the Dragon's Breath Cave, "named for the moist air rising from it's entrance".
