I like the image here, and it does make me think I should try to understand the haiku form more than I do now. Also, congratulations on winning the limerick contest!

Thank you Amy, it took me a while to get to grips with it, trying to convey an image in so few words.I'd never heard of the form until I joined soup.Have a go and ask family can they see the image your trying to create, had to make lots of changes in past attempts but never give up. Tom
