Great job, I have only attempted 1 Haiku, they are very difficult, (to me anyway). Another gem, well done.

Had to think about this one, Tim, but got it on the second reading. Of course I would have preferred something far more substantial in my hat than rain drops! Thanks for liking my Birches poems, it's an early work which I edited a little a few weeks ago. One of my favorites. Always appreciate your comments. / M

Thanks Maurice. It's all a matter of perspective whether they are mere raindrops or diamonds :) Yes, your Birches poem was a treat ... I can see why it is one of your favorites!

You have made my day, Anand ... such lovely feedback brings my spirits back up and gives me a further boost to write some more. Yes, it is the small things in life, that become the BIG things. Perhaps that is why I am continually drawn to haiku ...
