watercolor haiku a museum waits I send thank you note to the artist
a beautiful and clever word painting plus the lovely sound of it. Mary
A striking haiku. Synesthetic and a pleasure to read. This is my world, as well. Just lovely.
I learned something new from this haiku. mackerel clouds – ! fantastic visuals and feelings!
Wow! I just love this Lorin. As a cloud-lover, altocumulus included, I wish I had written this. Beautiful!
Fun wordplay over mackerel clouds and gulls squabbling over the bones, great image.

Hi Lorin, Lovely haiku with colors. I love seeing the gulls again more here, in large groups, now that the Lake Michigan beach is well past our summer. Ellen
