I once had a dream
So simple, so pure, so near
It was just a fart

John K,
The basic format of your first haiku as far as syllables was true to form but then I went looking for the seasonal reference such as mizzle, breeze, haar, mist, clouds as it wasn’t obvious. I should have known better.  A fart may just fit the bill as it certainly conjures up something very natural and depending on whether beans, cabbage or brussel sprouts are on the store shelves could be seasonal to boot. Commendable effort which has put the wind up me and I cannot compete.

Spring, then summer comes
Still no new courses begin
What will winter bring?

I suppose when a haiku of this quality is laid before the group, there's nowhere to go but down.
