Beautiful! Such a japanese sense of celebrating things - i.e.

The almond tree my son and I planted last winter
is blooming
unbelievable!


Do you know that the tradition to put haiku in 3 lines is rather late - it was invented by German translators in 19 c. Before that the poem haiku was in one line like in the Japanese language. Yours this so spontaneous and picturesque emotion wordform called me that. Thanks! :)

BTW :) - Did you get my e-mail, Eugene? Was it useful somehow or not? If not I will try to do anything else.

Thanks, Alice! I wanted to share the feeling with my friends, but didn't necessarily want to put it in haiku form.

I got your message yesterday, but for some reason was not able to read the font. Do you know which coding was used in those files? I tried KOI-8, UTF-8, Win-1251, but nothing worked :( I'll try again today. Hopefully, it works out.

Of course it didn't put it in haiku form. But I just wanted to remark that often putting thoughts we express them like a poem - either we suppose it or not. Just these.

About A. M. texts - it was Cyrillic (Windows). And if this doesn't work with your computer, please, give me know.

I agree with your thougths. We are not born with an innate ability to put our emotions in three-liners. It is an acquired skill that sometimes even prevents us expressing genuine feelings.

I couldn't read the fonts :( Can you please e-mail the files to me at wasserstrom.x [ at ] mail.ru ? Maybe Russian servers handle Cyrillic fonts better than gmail.
Thanks.

It is because of a good camera: Zenit TTL, f=8, 1/250s ;-)
