I started this blog two years ago today. Thank you all, you wild flowers.

I’d say more, but I might start bawling and get salt water in my keyboard.

Oh, great photo! Thanks, Yousei.
Melissa, we are all extremely glad you started … and persevered through it all…. and opened dialogue for us all… and made us think…. and delighted us … We are all in your debt, for sure.
Thanks so much, Merrill… and thank you for all your thoughtful comments.
Others have said it so well, so I’ll just add my thanks for this beautiful place for friends far afield.
Thanks, Mary! Glad to have you along.
Thank you, Melissa, for both your own work & your loving curation of the poetry of other poets.
Your haibun & the haikuverse posts . . . oh & the deserted mall . . . stick with me the most.
Thanks, Kris. I always appreciate your thoughtful comments.
Hugs and kisses, babe!
With love and adoration,

fine tuned emotions. oh, is this how two year old saltwater taffy is made?? on keyboards, yes?
beauty
a meaningless universe
without wild flowers
aloha and days of laughter upon you.
Aloha, Wrick… hope all is going well for you on your island.
It must be almost two years we’ve known each other now…

yeah. i started on WP April 7, 2010. i’d had other blogs tho. in fact google is about to destroy one i had on blogspot for 3 years. …or at least one of them. that’s how it works. life. letting go is built in.
your blog has had a big influence on me and my blog. you’ve leaped and bounded much faster than i do. cool on that.
btw – t’s nice to see you leaving instant ku in your comment.
way fun.
…and we have a long way to cruse yet. so fun on too.

madness at full blossom
in the slosh of tides
aloha on.
Slosh. Slosh is a good word. It should be used more often.
Two years only? It feels more like infinity! But we’ve melted barriers in the compass and the sun dial, also words have turned superfluous on thought waves that break into or laze on shores. Do you know that the prized rabbits from you still fascinate readers on my blog? A mushroom panel for you awaits its time, too. There’s more of you than of me in who I think I am today, and that’s in two years only?
time
tattoos on shore
before the tide
how could infinity
be unreal?
Congratulations! Two years only?
