    Alan's haiku successfully hooks readers with riveting imagery and the pace of this one-liner effectively enhances the emotional impact of the poem.

      Thank you. :-)

      I was also delighted that this haiku features in "big data" The 2014 Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku

      warmest regards

      Alan
