    Very beautiful poem Julie!
    I love the last line. Surprising one full of feeling. Very tenderly expressed!

    Love Kath Abela

    Reminds me of Ian McEwan's novella "On Chesil Beach" regret of picking pebbles along with other people over the years, and putting them back.

    a periwinkle rotates

    Been a while since a tinywords haiku has really knocked the wind out of my sails. This one did it. Glorious!
