    A wonderful symphony composed with your words in this haiku and with the sounds of children. Great one.

    Kids are always full of surprises and stars for making little things noticed. Loved your haiku. for it defines the innocence and beauty together of childhood and this wonderful emotion of blending bliss and graceful notes together. This haiku's lines definitely touches my heart strings!!! Thankyou for sharing!

    A nice little ode to city life :-) Gets "howling crazy" sometimes, but there's music to it, too.

    Children's voices would be one of the most beautiful symphonies of all. Beautifully captured.

    I love the sound of children's laughter...sirens, not so much; but they contrast very nicely in your haiku.

    The conductor for this symphony is amazing ... I particularly like the last line.
