Exquisite.
Thank you for these. They brighten up my mailbox; lots of strong 'ku.

Jill, your warm thought, proded my imagination. __ My positively envisioned parallel: Even I, an "old stem," have something left to offer. Smiles_! _m
Intentionally or unintentionally haiku can certain pivot as a metaphor, making this poem wonderfully calming and affirming.
