The author's words are engaging, clear and creative. Thank you for the
author's notes - a fun way to use my imagination! The poem flows and
connects well. The last line made me smile! The artwork is awesome
and compliments the words of this poem. Have a great night!.....Maria

This is a wonderful contemporary senryu. If one is not allowed to stare at the sun, obviously staring at one's thumb place over the sun, is a most clever way of getting around the rules.

Very good presentation and I smiled with recognition.

Thank you for sharing. :)

I do not have to imagine as I can remember lazy Summer days lying on the grass and using my thumb to cover the sun. I believe many can identify with your words.
So well done.
Best wishes
Mary

My compliments to the Master of the Haiku. I don't have to use my imagination. As a young lad, I have done this exact act. Thank you for the memories. Well done. Terry.

I remember as a child lying on the grass using my thumb to hide the sun. It was fun. Of course, being a child was fun, back in the day. I'm afraid today's children will miss out on a lot of those simple things. Thank you for sharing this peaceful package with us.

What a wonderful image of youth, just watching the sky for clouds and covering the sun with a thumb. I makes the grass, the warm air and the blue sky so real.
Thank you for sharing.

I did use my imagination and figured out how the boy could've block the sun with his thumb. His thumb is long enough to go across both eyes so it would block the sun from his view. Patricia
