I’ll let these speak for themselves – thank you to all that have got involved there have been some amazing responses to the challenge I set (was it just 2 days ago?!). If you click on the twitter handle under each haiku, you will be taken to the original haiku in case you want to “like” the original post or comment. If I’ve missed you please tag me in your original post and I’ll add you.
