  2. _Probably without the idea of time or life, the moth struggles to keep that which... it does not concieve.

    Hmmmm...

    To me, there's something missing. I find myself searching for that subtle linkage that is at the soul of haiku.

  4. Thanks Polona and Magyar for understanding what I was trying to get at.

    Hmmm Patrick. I think you might be right. Ive been thinking about it all day. Finally, 11pm, and I think Ive come up with a better 3rd line. Thanks for keeping me on my toes.

    Thanks Bill for dropping by.

  12. Dalloway,

    This moves me much more than your first version. Such a small change - but the depth it adds...

    :-)
