Sounds awesome Tom, must be a truly magnificent sight, your words bring it to life! Makes me nostalgic for the Victoria falls - used to see it 3 times a year whilst a border in Zimbabwe then Rhodesia - long story, my next poem. Blessings Jennifer.

Thanks Jennifer, the only falls ive seen were in Yosemite a few years back, awesome falls but not as spectacular as Niagara or even the Victoria falls. Tom

Beautifully depicted dearest, Tom! In case you do not know " Niagara " is a native American- Indian word which means " Smoking Waters " . I had the good fortune to visit them on several occasions and once, when a student, I slept on the parking lot in my van! Haha!

Thank you Demetrious, I didn't know what Niagara meant in native american until now and can see why they called it that. They must be incredible to see close up. Tom

Like you Tom, I have never visited, but I imagine the roar of this Wonder of the World must be deafening and exactly like a white shroud. Great Haiku Tom, good luck in the contest. With kindest thoughts Ann xx

Thank you Ann, they are fascinating, three falls going into one, all the water comes from the great lakes. Just off to a wedding. Have a nice weekend. Tom

Thanks for offering...Saw it sometime ago in the eighties ... when you're young a lot of things pass by you...now I recognize its beauty...and that of Angel falls in Venezuela
