Oh, a Haiku isn’t what I thought. I was thinking of a bunch of Romans doing this…

    I like that we were both thinking of Haiku at around the same time, must be something to do with the minimal nature of winter…but I forget, you don’t have winter down there…

    Whaddya mean no winter? It was 63F last week. Yes I did another haiku and will release later in the week. I added a bit of rhyme but I don’t know if that has a special category of the form.

Thanks, I had to think about your artful Haiku for a minute. I said to myself “He really didn’t do that did he? But then I counted – – – and yes – – – you made me smile.
Thanks
