nicely done Diane and John!
The top pic reminds me of the cover of Robin Trower's Bridge of Sighs album
Don,
These lovely simplicities and symmetries sing to me silently... ssshh... mum's the word.
Borsenik's haiku is understated yet emotionally-effective.
Nicely done.

What a wonderful idea, Don, to present together the moon and chrysanthemums!
Beautiful haiku!
