    Michael,

    I love your haikus they are so graceful and beautiful. It's amazing how you can write much in a short poem and keep is so beautiful as you do. I wouldn't know where to start.

    Praise the heavens
    ^^^
    At first glance I thought this was just about the skies themselves then read on. A real good idea for a title. Got me guessing as a reader but linked to the poem really well.

    As Ben says though a sneaky kind of fourth line with it linking and us not knowing what it's about. Lovely spring theme especially as I'm looking out my window to an April shower hehe

    Take care, Em

    Hello Michael

    A string of haiku from you and a lovely treat it is too - any nature poem is fine by me.

    "Praise the heavens"

    ^^^

    That sneaky fourth line - haven't a clue what it's about!

    Then, following the spring theme with 'nature awaking', the reader is awakened to the "pitter pattering of April showers" - lovely use of onomatopoeia here too (I love that word - didn't spell it right first time here, however)

    Lovely piece again, Michael.
    All the best
    Ben
