Thank you so much for your kind comments. I really appreciate hearing from each of you. Delighted todiscover that you recall some other haiku of mine, as well. That's very rewarding. Susan
I particularly like how the horizontal structure of this work matches the march of time. And how through your absence of punctuation you create a sense of deliberate ambiguity, to match the existential musings which I read as the heart of the poem.

Susan – have long appreciated your work . "Wedgwood" is a favorite as it brings fond memories of my own mother…

Many thanks for sharing it with us.

I love the sound of this one, Susan. It feels 'determined', somehow. This might be someone making a new start after a relationship has ended.

I appreciate your comments, Strider. Ambiguous, yes, so glad you like it.
Thanks for sharing your interpretation, Marion! I'm happy this one is working for you.
