Congratulations on your cracking second place Maureen, but for me, it was crackling that let it down. Mick

Thank you Mick! I figured it might be borderline metaphor, wasn't expecting a 1st place, thrilled with second and too happy with it to change... or was it the alliteration? (I can try to contain it for the sake of your contests;) xomo!

Ahhhh - the sounds of summer in the fields - this piece reminds me of summer vacations spent with my great grandmother in the country. Those were the best of times! Memorable imagery - love your haiku, Maureen. Best wishes and hugs. Pandita
