The use of "like" seems not necessary[is implicit] here after the pause! Perhaps,you included it to add inner assonance a "la-kara prayogam" [ a technique related to sound "la"(L)] ! Yes it works well and the word "like" seems essential from a poet's perspective ~
Who said a haiku should not sound good ?
li lim
li lu
li lo
NNarayanan, a good thought; it will be good to have a Haiku sound good!

But this is a great piece, nonetheless!
