oh dennis, thank you so much for your kindness of giving credit for this humble background ... I actually love to use it myself for the haiku I occasionally write ...
your haiku is imbibed with the flair of eastern serenity, and you paid a wonderful tribute to this beautiful culture through your poetic offering ...
wishing you the very best of luck in this contest,

Wow Dennis, this really is a gorgeous image of a haiku and is everything--THREE times the everything I could possibly expect of Far-Eastern influence in one haiku.
Exceptionally well-done and I truly enjoyed this haiku. Thank you so very much for this entry to the contest!
Jo
