I'm writing through tears, because I know whom you write. One guitarist whom you adore, the other I'll right. I'll right it because, to me he's simply class. Like Clapton, he likes to be flash. But this guy I mention, I've written before, for the two that we've mentioned, live through our pores - many hugs, James = I'll post and you will know the other guy, your words have showed = Chowa....xx

Lovely haiku, Jan...Reminds me of a song about flowers..."Oh I guess they've learned the secret. Even little flowers know...If it never never rains...then we'll never never grow." Wonderful write here...Tears of heaven...Good luck in contest.
