speaks of a season of the heart Ivor, I really admire how you tackle these challenges. if I may just add…check the syllable count in the second line. i may be wrong but seems to have one short.

Thanks Gina, I’ve edited now, I added “your” to the start of the second line, and actually the Haiku reads better now xxx
