Cute.
I experienced this with four senses! Well done Adelaide!
Oh… texture! Great to have that in a haiku. Lovely, Adelaide.
Gracious parallel Adelaide, and my further wishes. _m
Lovely haiku, Adelaide.
My father?s face after a shave is right here.
I can smell that spring cologne he used.
Fresh, loving and lovely poem!
