A description of inner fire I would guess. If not, illuminate. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

I appreciate your words "sparks fly from water" to cleverly describe the spewing and splattering water, as in a boiling pot over fire. Congratulations on your win.

Thankxxx John for your sweet comments on my entry and Raul is also an artist and I am quite certain he has lots of access to paintings and portraits and some might even be his own but I don't know for sure... lets give our Haiku entries positive vibes for his contest... luv.. "Sweetheart"
