Thanks, Melissa! I love all three especially the last one.
Thanks, Alegria!
Melissa, long-stem roses is a gem. Keep writing that novel, it is doing wonders for your haiku.

LOL, Sully, usually I think it’s the haiku having a salutary effect on my prose (keeping me from running over at the mouth as much as usual) rather than the other way around. But maybe you’re right and it goes both ways. Have to think about that …
These are so moving, wrenching, beautiful, sorrowful….I can’t say how much they do for my heart and soul! I’m literally brimming with tears and extreme admiration!!! (and I am not usually one for extra exclamation points)
Thanks so much, Abigail. I’m glad these moved you.
