    Ah, this one I could easily fall in love with. The image alone captivates me but you've perfected the page with the colors.

    A very lovely background indeed!
    A sooting one. Nice text and link colours as well.
    Though I don't write any of the Japanese poetry types, I think I can use this background in other poems too. Well, one number is missing in your main text colour, it should be a hexagon code, i think...
    Thanks for the xnview link...I think I am gonna download it soon!

    Thank you, icebloo! I didn't do the painting, as I said in my author notes, it is from a Japanese painting I have in my pc pic files. I use a graphics program to then reduce it and make it into a border background. You can do that with any photo or image. You can download the XnView graphics programme for free: www.xnview.com

    Thank you, Danna! Yes, haiku and tanka are my favourite poetry forms.
