Ralph, me thinks you are on a roll! Awesome! Sheri
ReplyDeleteThank you Sheri for stopping by. I trained for a road race, often at night; these are a few of my observations that kept my mind alert! Glad you enjoyed. Ralph
DeleteGreat work Ralph!
ReplyDeleteYour comments are appreciated. This style has been elusive to me as my empty biro would testify! Ralph
DeleteThis set is fantastic... I had to cringe at the alpaca incident... Been there, done that. Those guys are far from cordial.
ReplyDeleteYes, a three line conversation with an alpaca is outstaying their welcome! Thank you for your comments. Best wishes. Ralph
ReplyDeleteNice work, Ralph. I enjoyed all three of your haiku. Thank you for sharing and continued blessings!
