I like both Roland's and Samuel's though - both versions are very evocative but with their own subtleties.<br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-69325862442205290532010-09-06T13:45:59.518-05:002010-09-06T13:45:59.518-05:00No. 4 is great.

Again, you've managed to infuse such deep meaning and emotion into yours; they're beautiful. I may toy with the form sometime, but I imagine it takes lots of forethought and discipline to do it well...<br /><br />BTW: I like your originals better, well done.

While I wasn't looking, the ghost of Samuel Clemens tampered with my haiku's, declaring his to be better, though rule breakers -- but then he always broke the rules, literary and otherwise.
