Please let Ms. Bender know she has my undying admiration–today’s is one of the finest haiku I’ve ever seen, anywhere. Reply
Ah, the lovely and amazing Debi. I had the great privilege of meeting Debi on a Japan trip. You couldn’t meet a nicer person, or a better artist and poet. Reply

out on a limb:
lifeless squirrel
it’s tail silhouetting it’s body
dewdrop worlds
glow, empty in
autumn breeze ~
wistful evening
opaque clouds —
even the moon desires some privacy
_
In the evening too
the world is so little if it
enters in a dew drop
crickets chirp
cool night air —
childhood memories knock on the door
