ok…not a fan of haikus apparently. they’re harder than I thought. wrote a whole bunch wrong and had to start again. then my favorite involved a pond. I saw SeaCat’s and thought damnit…let’s not both write ponds. ultimately I realized I’d rather write a thousand sonnets than a single haiku. but I definitely learned somethin. clouds file past the moon stars align without protest darkness signs its name

  LOL!
  Two ponds would be just fine, but I’m quite chuffed with this one, myself!
  Now, that’s a splendid Haiku, 253.
  Ditch “the” and replace it with something meaningful, like “gold moon” or some such and it’ll sparkle on the page
