	"What great fun!! Thank you!! *I have noticed a lot of comments about rhyme in Haiku. I have studied both traditional and the commonly accepted 5/7/5 counts we use on this site. Haiku forms are actually derived from a lengthy formal poetry style called Hoku used long ago, when one student broke with tradition to form his own style using only the top descriptive line of the poem. Though most were originally discriptive about nature, we currently include other subject matter, feelings, insights, and impressions as well. Though clever it is NOT essential to rhyme!! So loosen up and have fun!! Happy Haiku to you all! Thanks again!! "

Beside reading the Bible and visit my own char room "Jesus_Wept4You" at talkcity, I make sure that I do my Haiku daily. I find it to be a challenge to get a Haiku thought so fast after a first glance at the picture provided. My friend Tanja Cilia who lives in Malta G.C. joked about having enough place mats at the dinner table. Tanja Cilja is a good poet and I met her through the Haiku contests on poetry.com. I look forward to receive my next place mat. God bless. "
