Don,
thanks for posting this string of little gems.
I particularly like Kala's haiku, whose L3 is unexpected yet powerful.

"a scoop of loneliness". That image keeps floating in my head.
Thanks Don.
I like the way you have weaved the raindrop through the three haiku chosen and how that 'loneliness' in my haiku seems even more poignant somehow.
It's amazing what silences between verses can do to images.

Thanks a ton Chen-ou and Bart.
I'm happy L3 resonates the way it does :)

Kala's haiku is so visual I can almost feel like I'm scooping up the loneliness myself. That one word... Just goes to show how a word well chosen ....
Likewise, and again, my thanks, Don.
Chen-ou, glad this one hit home -
Bart, that third line seems to be grabbing folks ...
Kala and Lyle, cheers!
Thanks, Merrill ...
