  1. L1 sets the theme while unexpected yet visually and emotionally powerful L3 makes this parade haiku fresh and effective, enhancing the celebratory atmosphere at a festive. Though confined indoors, especially on account of age, illness, or disability, the person in Ls 2&3 does his/her best to cheer on parade participants.
