The people that can write great haikus on this site are astounding. They dwarf me in their execution. You are one of them. I don't think that I will ever master that form. You have. Thanks for your kindness on my win. I am humbled. Regartds, Gerard.

Awesome, Sean! Best one in my book. I had a feeling this one was going to express music before I even opened it. :) Very original. In my book, this is a winner. Congrats on your success in Carol's contest. Best wishes, Caroline.

Beautiful poetry, Sean. My daffodils have emerged ready to conduct... I hope they do so before another freeze. Last year they didn't bloom. And they are so very lovely when in blossom... like your Haiku #34, which blossoms with your talent. Smiles, Dane Ann
