    You can write in any style and form - that I know, Mari - and these haikus are gorgeous. Wondeful continuity here!

    Voorspoedige Nuwe Jaar, liewe vriendin!

    I guess I'm just a fan, with no direction. I like them all. And I love the idea of Ms Goes being an Advanced Graduate. Sounds almost ‘tall poppy' something to hold on to. (Thank you).

    I can almost hear it drip...interesting how this has transformed, yet I can see how it relates back to the original...haven't wrote haiku in quite awhile...you've inspired me to do so. Lovely penning

    "...fades the moon..."
    Now that's intensity,
    a brilliant flashing!

    And let's not forget

    A dripping faucet
    keeps time with a flicking
    shooting star...

    Hugs...Eddy

    Things are looking up...it's gone from 41F below to 24F below now
    I wonder if that qualifies as a heat snap... lol

      qualifies as brrr
      with that temperature a faucet will not drip
      can't send you sunshine today, we are having very cloudy days here. Will send you a hug instead

    Congratulations on becoming a High Priestess of haiku!

    Now on to the next class, isn't there a masters one? If they start a goofy haiku class I'll be the first in line.

    Yay, a fancy trophy!
