Hello Perna balla Steve, Cleo & Larry. For someone trying to come to terms with this fascinating form of poetry, this has been a very illuminating correspondence. It is obvious that each of you has your own personal, and strongly held views about what constitutes a Haiku - but you discussed the subject with great good humour - each contributing something of interest. As an absolute beginner - I understood more of what perna balla was conveying from reading the more 'trad' version. The words, 'from sloping roofs to ice grounds' painted a vivid mental picture. Thanks for the lesson.Leo
