Enjoyed your poem!

Ben, I love your juxtaposition! Made me say aha!
Ben Gaa, Opened a new window. Thank you.
And Martin1234, is that piece yours or Ben Gaa?s? It?s lovely.
Nice one, Ben… this strikes home to me because of the social requirement nowadays, such as schooling-kids-from-home. The wild of coyote speaks to my resistance to other burdens, even while those other burdens justifiably tug. Your haiku makes it all resonate.
