I just clicked on this one and found I had chanced on a really nice haiku!! Maybe a good one in one of Brian's contests sometime.

Harry, Thats interesting, I have a haiku about shifting sands too but don't have it posted here. I like this because it is exactly what I was writing today, or similar. I have 1,000's of haiku, it would be so much work to post them but maybe one at a time over time lol. Love this one:))
