No matter how you started off with it, the end result was marvelous.
You really know how to write a haiku!

Absoloutly amazing, but then again, I'm always one for Haiku's. They're so much more powerful. Great job with it! The conscept is amazing. "A fist will lead an army, but a palm will save a nation." <--- quote from a devils advocate argument on pro's and cons of war that I wrote.

Is it okay if I use this in my article?
02-03-2003 Lyle Berry    

Thanks everyone for your kind responses.

My earlier version was actually 6-7-5. I took some poetic license with o-pen-ing and hope people would read it as op-ning, but I changed it when Betty mentioned the defect.

the syllables are fine, we have a 'turning', and I guess 'blossomed' counts as a season word. Done!
and meaningful as well, never mind the technicals! Very Nice!

Lyle,

This is one fabulous Haiku. An excellent turn. I am very impressed.
