Dear Kathryn,
You can stop being subscribed by clicking on "About" on the left and clicking SUBSCRIPTIONS.
So you can control when you want to be subscribed or unsubscribed.
Welcome Vera, and congratulations for your first publication on Tinywords.
Very evocative verse. And I really enjoy when poets play so thoughtfully with the traditional form. Instead of 5-7-5 your haiku is 2-7-5. Perhaps this is a deliberate abbreviation of the first line, to manifest precisely the sense of "missing" which the lonely walk across the river seems to suggest.
I look forward to hopefully reading more of your work in the future.
The moon is full.
There is a path across the river.
Why is it that 'only one may walk?'
Or does the reflection of moonlight create 'a path across the river?'
A most mysterious haiku.
