I sure like your honesty and yes, zip haiku (the late John Carley's creation) is about pauses and what is does to the image.
It's a two-line ku and with 15 sound units.
To quote John, "The 'zip' is just a style of prosody. What matters most of course is the artistic sensibility brought to the writing of haiku"
Anticipation is a perfect word.
The green hills in Kala's poem, reveals not only beauty, but a necessity to feed crops and animals that in turn feed us, and the wonderful senses within her poem, feeds the poetic soul.

The repetition of 'greener greener' — such anticipation! This is just one of the jewels in your book.

There must be no end to how green the hills become!

Yes, Sheila,
Very correctly observed …
I share this hill with Pune University and the city is best during monsoons …
Thanks for your comment.
