You may not be aware of this, but three images in three lines is normally considered a fault in haiku. The Japanese have some name for it which I can’t recall at present, but here we call it “shopping list” haiku. Almost always successful haiku have two, not three, images, as in Kiyoko’s haiku above.

Good to know!
