I too loved your last Haiku. You have a sharp mind, and a beautiful pen. Lovely work!
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of all! They are deep and like really nice poetry, the beauty is more revealed when less is said. Now, you make me want to ensure that I take more time to learn Haiku. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethe last one works very well. my only regret with Haiku is that they dont have a title. referring to your brilliant work as 'the last one' is a shame. love the work! Ralph
