Seeds are always opportunities, shutting the door is closing off an opportunity. I also love the citron haiku -- so simple yet very evocative. The first haiku of this set is quite tantalizing, for I wonder just what kinds of things are falling out of the trees, or under the trees. I hope you continue to write haiku! I would very much like to read more of your work! Thankyou!
