    Definitely a micro novel of a haiku, and a good example of what negative space can accomplish in the haiku form too!

  2. This is a singularly subtle and beautiful haiku. It conveys image and thought alike. One of the most appealing and thought-provoking haiku poems I have read.

  4. As evocative a haiku as I ever remember reading. It’s bittersweet, poignant, elegant, complex yet simply phrased.
