quick brown birds
chirp and frrip
through the barren cherry tree
sunlight glides
and a white cap sparkles
on the last red apple

frrip is just a wonderful word...
nice work Gwilym
john
I really love "frrip".
Thanks everybody!
I liked the second haiku more.
And, the use of 'frrip' is very suggestive.
