My family has created a poetic form called Campu. It occurs when we are sitting around a campfire, collaborating on fun camping-related haiku. Example: Sleeping bag so warm / Weariness pervades my bones / Crud, I have to pee. Your haiku made me think you would be right at home amongst this rather irreverent group!

Jan, I love the fun ending to this. We do tend to take our haiku a little too seriously sometimes, don't we? Hugs ~ John

I never know if I've written a real haiku - have had a few published so I can't be doing too badly at times:-) hugs Jan xx

Nice and simple Jan. Good to be reminded of scents as I have hardly any sense of smell. Glad the sneezing is fiction for you. How do you post photos? Do they have to be copied somehow from a web page? Lisle.

I'm lucky I don't suffer from hayfever and adore the scent of hyacinths but it can be rather overpowering!:-) hugs Jan xx
