Clinging to my door
Cat-eye splotches on soft green
Fragile loveliness.

Thank you both very much.

I like to read a lot more than I like to write - but being blessed with a visit from a Luna seemed to require more than my ooohhhing and aaahhhing.

Clinging to my screen
A Monarch in its grandeur
Without chrysalis

It is no illusion that you have talent

I hope to read more from you. Thanks for sharing with us!

What a wonderful poetic response, Nan! I love monarchs, too.

Janet Marie, I can't thank you enough - but I do appreciate your initial "unofficial" welcome, your comments on this poem, and your revisit.

And many thanks to you, also, Krawdad.

Well, where there is one Haiku, (and a very nice one at that) there is bound to be endless poems. Wonderful to see you finally posted one for US to reply to and I hope this is starting a new trend for you. I am sorry I am late but HEY.....I did make it here.

I love all forms of minimalist poetry.Heres one of mine humbly sumbited for your approval.
               Coloring book
            Make the cows green
            Grass white and black
            Color outside the lines
            It's OK

Not late at all, Mark - not with such kind comments.

I'm very glad you liked this, but I fear my poem posting will be rare - the repository is quite small.

Thank you.

I like your name, paladin - and your poem.

Thank you very much. Sometimes we have to color outside the lines - we can't allow someone else to define us.
