    Wonderful mix of sounds, from nearby (on the ground, as well as from the air) the sound of rain plinked on fruit, and in the distance (and air) the geese overhead.

    Beautiful on all counts!

    There is a real sense of oneness with nature and the cycle of life in this haiku. Quietly beautiful.
