This takes us to original Haiku in its Japanese attire, now being abandoned in international Haiku, including the 5/7/5 scheme and the season word (summer). I simply love it and I'm particularly impressed with the first line.

Jan Allison

Thank you si much for your lovely comment - I much prefer the traditional 5 7 5 syllable scheme myself:-)
