Hi Jan, last one tonight so thought i would look for another Haiku and i did find this excellent work. Firstly, Congratulations for your win in the contest. I do Love a well thought out Haiku, need i say more. It is enough to say this Haiku is going into my faves. Sometimes one can be lost for words and i do mean this in a good way, this is one of those times. Just excellent Jan. This is a definite seven. Loved this one. Hugs.... Mike. XX

Congrats Jan! Very impactful and sudden! I like how it is the tears that are falling as opposed to the rain ... really thoughtful choice of words.
