There's just something about it, like... after the first two lines I have the feel of an intro, but then it stops like a shutting door, and I'm stuck here thinking about what just happened.

Hm, I didn't realise that at first, but now that you've mentioned it, you're right. But this was just really a few words to add a text element to the image, which was why I only wrote a haiku instead of something I really put thought into.

WAUGH this is gorgeous

My only criticism: the girl's hair sticks out from the rest of the textures like a sore thumb. That's it though.

Lovely, it makes me want summer back.

I cannot WAIT for summer. This springess is killer for my hayfever. It feels like all the plants are trying to pollenate in my nose.

Oh winter sucks too, I've a permanent cold. So I've worked out that I spend half my life - Winter and Spring - with my nose blocked.
