Lovely
g'day Michael
The first poem of my day and it is beauty. Thank you.
peace and love
ahhhh :-)
Thanks for sharing this special moment. Delightful.
A special moment indeed!
This haiku is so wonderful. The image is deeply reflective…(no pun intended!)
Michael has a knack of incorporating movement in haiku. He involves far more than just the 'mereness' of movement in itself, but expands it into other directions, like our unique attributes of humanness through wonder.
