Someone asked why this form (haiku) was so popular. When it is done as well as this, how can it not be? Simple pleasure indeed. Thanks

Krissie - thanks indeed! I'm trying to get a handle on tanka too, I love reading them but have never really got into writing them!

Beautiful in its simplicity. (I happen to love red roses, so it's an extra lovely simple moment.)
