  2. Not sure I get this one - but the fault could be mine.

  3. Many thanks Frank, I appreciate your comments.

    Patrick, early morning the parks are filled with folk doing tai chi and on this occasion, a bunch of old women practising their fan dancing. I was watching these old Chinese men who were sat on a park bench chuckling at their wives. I wished I had my camera with me.

  5. nice one Dalloway; i got the gist of it; but without the scene; with your note to Patrick, the scene added, gives me more and heightens my appreciation.

    much love

  6. haiku...
    the fringe of this rug

    Just my thought... -not- an instruction!
    _Of late, I am too explict when I write those things -I- label, 'haiku.'
    _We sometimes say too much. Let each reader imagine their own Ah-Ha and discover their own answer(s) to the 'wonder' you leave.
    _Here I reasoned 'youngsters' were giggling at the fan dancers. It worked for me, obtuse as I am.

  7. Magyar I sympathise. Encouraging that aha moment, yet being clear is such a fine balance. I was obviously a little too obscure on this one. Feedback helps.

  8. That's cool.

    I wouldn't have guessed at any of that.

    The snow hasn't even fully melted up here. The only fan dancers are the herds of wild Turkeys picking through the newly opened grasses.
