Thanks Geoffrey I am delighted you dropped by to read one of my older poems, unless they are in a contest they rarely get read, except this one has found its way on the web and onto various fb and other social media applications and is one of my most read poems:-( hugs Jan xx

haiku perfection, haiga grand, the title a modernist addition, as you know, me being a traditionalist I don't agree, regardless it does not detract from your talent as a haiku composer, write on special lady. Congratulations on both counts hugs Mick

aww thanks Mick - I was persuaded by another member Charmaine to submit some of my poems to haiku Journal and this was one of two of my haiku that were printed in that edition. A blogger in the US picked up on my poems and did an article about the best haiku in the world which made me lol as I struggle writing the form and an American soap actress had one of my poems as a photo on her FB page:-) hugs jan xx

Thanks Teddy I would never have submitted my poem to the journal if I hadn't been encouraged by Charmaine Chircop. In the end I think they accepted 3 of my poems and another one was published in their three line poetry journal:-) hugs jan xx

Good contrast in ( and just like heaven, to mark ) the "dainty" producing a "fanfare". God's little tricksters. @MontanaFree ©@®
