    L1 sets the theme and mood while unexpected yet visually and emotionally evocative L3 adds psychological depth to this multi-sensory relationship haiku.

    And it might be interesting to do a comparative reading of my haiku below, which could be read as a sequel to Elmedin's:

    spring rain
    on me, maybe on her
    a city apart
