Memorial Day our oldest veteran is younger this year Congratulations on your honorable mention in the Spiess competition and on your fine work in the latest Modern Haiku. I consider this one an instant classic: between the minnows minnow-sized spaces Reply
Thanks so much, Bill! What a compliment! Your haiku is very moving, although, old and dense as I am getting, it took me a minute to get. 🙂 My fault, not yours… Reply

Thanks, Alan. That’s a lovely one, Andre’s a wonderful poet.
Hmmm…love the compelling photos with your great haiku like this one and the last one, Melissa!
Thanks, Alegria. I’m feeling very picture-y lately so this may be a trend. 🙂
