WoW! Valsa, This is lovely. You painted a delightful picture with words. Congratulations on your win. PS, in your most recent Haiku, change the title to lower case letters. Have a nice day-Alexis

Oh so Mystifying. You painted a gorgeous imagery with this stunning Haiku. I feel like I am looking at a masterpiece on the wall. Brevity at its best. Congratulations dear friend.

I sense they feel purposeful in their work and from a different view, playful and looking forward to washing in the stream. I got two for the price of one with this Haiku, Valsa. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, Bill

I've seen them, in colors and traditional regalia, courtesy of Bollywood. Nonurban people have so much color, so much vivacity ... Naturally. Shalom shalOm dear sis
