Author notes

Another one written for my self-challenge of writing haiku in Japanese. Again, couldn't quite get the haiku format right for the English version. Suggestions for the English one are welcome!

      Yes they are and it's all your fault that I started trying to write them in Japanese, hehe!
      Japanese always looks and sounds so nice...

        Well I think it makes more sense to write haiku in Japanese because it's a Japanese form... and about nature, it's so much easier to write something in Japanese and keep it to that line/syllable limit because English doesn't have the right words.

      Thank you for your kind comment! I've come to like writing haiku in Japanese (even though I only know a little of it) since I like the sounds and love the form of kanji
