So nice to see a warm-hearted haiku especially when everything else seems so fraught! Thank you!

Thanks so much for reading. Yes, it was a beautiful moment.
Remembering our days in the hot tub.
So glad to see this light-hearted haiku. What a pleasure.
The real pleasure was listening to the laughter next door. And now the pleasure of people commenting on the poem. Thank you so much.
Bubbling with joy and contentedness – a breath of fresh air in these unsettling
times! Bravo!
Thank you for reading, and for commenting. It was a privilege to hear all that fun and frivolity.

Cheers Martin!
I love this. Especially those bubbles of happiness. Celebrating happy moments, our own or observed is especially uplifting right now.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I was sitting on the patio when I heard the fun next door – joyful!
