    The slowness of three short sentences brings me joy. Well made, laddie!

    Like Lana, this makes me think of summer. Interestingly, haiku always feel short to me, but this feels long and slow like a summer morning. Very cool!

    I could almost hear the chirping of morning birds to accompany this Haiku. It definitely took me to a peaceful Spring morn when life is peaking back into the world. Beautifully written!

    Ahh, this hit the spot just perfectly! I'd almost forgotten what the sun looks like, but then I woke up to a clear sky this morning and it's been sunny all day!

    I can’t wait until it’s light again in the morning!
