Happiness returns -

Delicate lily bends as

Summer shakes breezes.

  1. Nice haiku. I never spent much time trying to write them save for in high school and college, when necessary.

    1. I really enjoy them, they take constraint to a new level, and force me to consider what portion of the word bank I can use to put each one together and make it speak for me.

      Thank you for stopping in Jeremy.

    1. I find yours a pleasure to read too, though by the time the sun is going down, so am I ;-) My attempts (heavy on that word) are made before then. Hmmm.. truth is sometimes it is not accomplished until after the sun fades. I still enjoy it.

    1. L could be for Lance too :-)

      I would probably have to write a complete poem though, rather than a brief Haiku for you.
