Hi Alan. Thanks for the comments. I think the original had the a and the d spaced even further, so I either submitted the wrong version or the hard spacing didn't work online. No matter.
Good one Dave
Thank You!
Thank you Shrikaanth.
Great sense of movement in this haiku:
cloud shadows on the highway scudding a h e a d
The spreading out of ahead gives another level.
warm regards,
Alan

The great thing is that the haiku is strong enough without relying on the concrete poem aspect in the last word.
It's still cool! :-)
warm regards,

Clouds; streak across this horizon; full sail.
Very effective!

There is a fine sense of balance in this one line haiku. An enjoyable read!
