Thank you so much Linda and Deborah for your advice, I am so new to this and think it is just wonderful when people who actually know what they are doing are kind enough to share, Many thanks to you both

Hi there! Thanks for working on haiku with us! Please do not capitalize. line 1 the subject is ok yet you do not need the word "start" it is inferred yes? I am not being strict about the 5/7/5 as long as you have less than 17 syllables. Line 2 (very good..verb does belong in this line) please put ... or -- at the end of line 2 to indicate the cut or juxtaposition in line 3! Hope this helps! Light & Love
