  4. I'm really tired this afternoon, and I realized just moments ago that I commented on Chèvrefeuille's haiku, not yours! I do like the image of a serpentine dancer snaking her/its way across the heavens. Thanks!

    1. No problem ... this gave me the opportunity of thanking you twice :-) I'm glad you liked the image of a serpentine dancer .. they always reminded me either of a snake in the sky or sometimes a green water fall streaming in the sky.

    2. Glad I read this comment. I never thought of the Northern Lights as a waterfall before, but why not? It's an image that certainly fits.
