A beautiful ku. A simple image reminding us how little it takes to be happy.

An exceptional choice, as usual.

This haiku so beautifully captures the effect of a most basic element of nature on us. A common observation can make a huge change in our mood and our outlook on life. Truly, how little it takes!

Jenny, whether she writes haiku, tanka or haibun, wields the pen most aesthetically.

Look at the delicateness of this haiku, most beautifully brought to 'light' in L3.


Haiku is apt when less is said.

Yes, Kala. Rightly said. I thought this is the most perfect example of karumi. Maybe yugen too.
