  1. L1 sets the theme and mood while unexpected yet visually evocative L3 makes this haiku carefree, joyful, and humorous.

    FYI: "The formation of freckles is caused by exposure to sunlight. The exposure to UV-B radiation activates melanocytes to increase melanin production, which can cause freckles to become darker and more visible."
