Thank you so much for your comment. Yes, these are scifaku. When I wrote these I didn't know that the term existed and thought I was making something up. Hee hee.

I like the images in the first poem, but "makes me nostalgic" sounds like a judgment, which I'm learning is something people avoid in haiku. I'm trying, but I can't come up with a line that I like better. tinkling silver trees shimmering in the two suns childhood memories silver trees shimmer under twin suns my memory Nice imagery!

I try to practice this in my profession. I don't want to build a blog or website for a client when I know that it's not a good fit for both of us.
