1. it sways ‘For” the rain, not in spite of it.
   that is deliciously gorgeous. 🙂

   • Glad you noticed.. I kept changing that word back and forth quite a few time before selecting for

     • the creative process is something I love (I call it my walks to the ladies room..that’s where I gather my words and move them around)

       it was the right choice…:)

2. “for” is good….”in” might also work………opie

   • Yes that was my other alternative…

3. Such delicate words that sway in the most beautiful wording of your imagination.

   • Thank you 😉

     • You’re welcome sir.

       P.S say do you think they’ll let me post my blog onto their openlinknight? Link…

     • Perfect imagery so I can’t see why you cant 😉

     • I will then. 🙂

4. glorious! I also like the ink painting selected to represent this piece. Nice!

5. Ah! Lovely. Beautiful haiku.

6. Here, I am the lotus … I feel it, I sense it, I am it. Bjorn … This is spectacular. And I must tell you something embarrassing. I spent 6 months (quite ill) studying haiku and writing one per day. But I did not know who Southard was! Now I do, thank you for teaching me something.

7. Wonderfully composed respons on Southard’s haiku Bjorn. Really nice woodblock by the way.

8. I vote for “for.” That sexy little lotus is trying to seduce the rain with her dance! 😉

9. you make the rain a welcome presence
   nice pair Bjorn

10. feels cooling and gentle…all so beautiful.

11. I would call this a sinuous, sensuous and, yes, sensual, haiku!
