Fellow Haiku Artist...

This Senryu series is extraordinarily beautiful!!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!!

Ever since diving deep into the world of "waka" I've been finding Haiku / Senryu / Tanka to be more beautiful than what I originally thought it was. I'm getting much better at it, myself.

But I don't think that I could ever stack up to being as good as you are at it. This is beautiful.
