William, congratulations on your win! Love the alliteration in the ku! This haiku bears the stamp of your creative imagery! Fun! Aloha my friend. Sending you blessings of "nightingale nocturnes."

Saw Tania's list earlier this morning, Sam, greatly appreciate your uplifting expressions, my friend. May your day be as blessed too, a hui hou kakou! (the 'a' in kakou should have a Kahako or 'macron'; a line over the vowel, lengthens its sound, point being, it's meaning "until we meet again", without the macron, "let us meet again").

A really well-written piece. William, your haiku was enhanced by the video, which contributed to the attraction of magic. Your work is outstanding, as it usually is. Best regards
