Very nice haiku, Jeannie. I see this one in conversation with Peggie Lyles' famous haiku: summer night we turn out all the lights to hear the rain – Lorin Reply
This is heartrending and absolutely beautiful.
Good. Poignant.

Very nice haiku, Jeannie. I see this one in conversation with Peggie Lyles' famous haiku:
