I am a scientist by trade and artist by soul. My creative outlet used to be dancing but due to injuries and age, I must now find another path. I am hoping my writing, poetry and photography can be this new path.

It is rare for haiku to flow this way… have this kind of rhythm. I really really love it. Beautiful, in meter and meaning.

I agree with Patrick. There is a clear rhythm of the bamboo slapping in the breeze.

This is a stunning haiku, and certainly sensual for me…there’s something about last night in this context with the nature…. – really you applied the technique beautifully.

Thank you Hamish. As a haiku master your comments always mean a lot to me. I like that you caught the sensuality twist I was going for too.

Ah, but you know how to talk; what an unexpected and lovely (though unmerited) compliment – I remain your avid reader.

Just saw this one again. .Must say one of the sexiest haiku I have read. The mood created, as well as detail.
