well done, in its defence! I like the modern ones with less syllables than 5/7/5 but they are not as popular here!

There is a book of haiku about New York published by the New York Times which is terrific. Matthew

So true, I try to write one Haiku a day; they're just wonderful. Great job Matthew.
