Great job, I have only attempted 1 Haiku, they are very difficult, (to me anyway). Another gem, well done.

Had to think about this one, Tim, but got it on the second reading. Of course I would have preferred something far more substantial in my hat than rain drops! Thanks for liking my Birches poems, it's an early work which I edited a little a few weeks ago. One of my favorites. Always appreciate your comments. / M

Timothy Hicks

May 23, 2016 at 4:35 PM

Thanks Maurice. It's all a matter of perspective whether they are mere raindrops or diamonds :) Yes, your Birches poem was a treat ... I can see why it is one of your favorites!

Timothy you always come with something out of the box....Such lovely write.... You got to get smaller to enjoy the wonders of life....Small but a powerful stuff!!!!7

You have made my day, Anand ... such lovely feedback brings my spirits back up and gives me a further boost to write some more. Yes, it is the small things in life, that become the BIG things. Perhaps that is why I am continually drawn to haiku ...
