  1. Enhanced by the use of onomatopoeia, the multi-sensory (both auditory and visual) image of L2 &3 thematically enhances the tone and mood of L1.

    And it might be interesting to do a thematic comparative reading of the following harvest morning haiku:

    grapefruit harvest --
    the morning sun
    left dangling
