Nice one you have here, Andrea. Thanks for your comment. Simle! As near as I can fine tune myself Andrea, it is pretty close to the example that Linda gave.LoL. Lots of different opinions going on about the Haiku. Suppose to be about nature, but the way I view God and spiritual things, all things are included. Agape, Moses
