in a dragonfly’s glide—
noon shadows

Lovely effective juxtaposition.
Extraordinarily beautiful even by your standards, kala.
That’s most generous of you Bill.
I loved your compliment.
Thank you!

Kala:
So lovely — the stillness — extraordinary!

Kala,
Oh, this is so gorgeous! Lovely, lovely, lovely!
With much admiration,

really very beautiful – in the true spirit of haiku.. short, richly vivid, matter-of-fact and hints of something profound
great work Kala!
Echo all of the above. Stunning.
HI, Kala
it is very lovely!
warm fever
kissing the flower
it blooms by love…
kala, another day, once again, has brought us together. even before reading your haiku, a smile could be felt.
your words are indicative of true musical abilities; pausing on notes, gliding on others, all, afternoon delights. thoroughly sincere, thoroughly genuine.

spring rush
my eyes closed–
wing beats brush my face
A beautiful moment, so well-captured, Kala!
