A ray of sunshine peeks above the tundra: crack of spring
Link with 973: Arctic.
[In the arctic and antarctic the Sun stays below the horizon for half the year and for the other half it is above the horizon. The Arctic is referred to as the land of the midnight sun. Around March 21 every year is a welcome sight when the Sun glints across the tundra for the first time in six months!]
I can imagine what a welcome sight it would be. I can't imagine going 6 months without seeing the sun. You don't reckon Spring moonlights as a plumber or a painter??
From "The Haiku Anthology" I became interested in Haiku and I have since written numerous haiku, senyru, and tanka. "Masago", my haiku pen-name, means "grain(s) of sand" in Japanese. I have recently started learning Esperanto and Japanese. A few years ago I developed a new eastern verse form which we now call 'Renhai'.

John: Thanks. I was inspired by a fellow who said he wasn't a morning person and seldom got up before the crack of Noon.
