Wow!!!

Beautiful! Where did you find the graphic, too? Or did you do that, as well. The entire piece is fantastic!

Now this is just a lovely thought ~ with a perfect graphic

However, I'm sure you already know that it does not follow the 5-7-5 format, but it is still awesome, I really do love your haikus

Take care,
Melissa

Thanks so much for your comments.
And.... to address the 5-7-5 format:
There were periods in history where renka was performed by the "Masters" in an irregular form such as 2-5-5 or 5-9-7-6 or in choka 57577 757 57577 etc.
I suppose if I were desiring to remain in the 5-7-5 structure I would be in error or was in error by my title of haiku instead of renka

but I poetically ventured out into other renka formats intentionally

I will be posting a few irregular renka in the future as well
