Hi Jan, well i felt i needed a Haiku this morning so hear i am. I wanted to stop by your work so i thought i would look for one, i didn't have to look too hard and what a wonder my eyes behold. This is a brilliant Haiku Jan. From start to finish it holds together strongly. The words sing into my mind and the imagery that comes from them is so beautiful. I am not going to put the kiss of death on this excellent write by saying how i think it will do in the contest. A 7 and Fave. Hugs....Mike. XX

I struggle to write one haiku style poem so I am pleased with the flow I managed to create - we have rain here but hopefully brighter warmer days are ahead:-) hugs Jan xx
