Now see, I was told that haiku had to be about nature or related to it in some way. I've only written a few haiku poems and most of them aren't about nature. Nice to know that theory has been disproved. Oh and yes! Very lovely poem indeed!

Well actually, this is a form of the haiku, the senryu, which deals with humanity I believe.
And what isn't natural in all reality...everything is nature...it's only man that thinks to put himself above nature, when everything he says, builds, writes, and does is natural.
Anyway, this was lovely Pen.

Thanks bambie - 'haiku' is indeed supposed to be about nature and seasonal moments but I'm just having some fun with this. Thanks
Marius - indeed - senryu deals with humanity - I wonder what name deals with the gods? 
I thought I might follow suite when it came to this 'haiku' a day thingie J.R.
Considering it is King's Chapel which reigning/raining was easy. |

I like the imagry that you are able to put by the simple words you use. The way you can set a little orcastrated image in our brains. Little songs. Good work, I definitly liked this one. Now all I got to do is word on my spelling, huh?  |

Thanks very much everyone.
This chapel is in Gibraltar and it's stuck in my mind. That ceiling was intriguing.
J.R. book? What did I miss?
