Thanks, Donna. As I replied to David, the rules are changing, almost to the point where there are no rules. You should give it a try. I can soupmail a few references to you if you are interested. Jack

I enjoyed this Haiku...each line has meaning and certainly contributes to the whole.

Thank you, David. Haiku is an experiment for me. I've found I enjoy working with the form, and have discovered that contemporary English-language haiku do not necessarily follow the traditional 5-7-5 scheme. This one is almost that, but not quite. Jack
