These Haikus are so cute, short little expressions, and you do it so well, setting a good example that I might try one myself. |

Blue Kitty----that is the highest form of compliments. They say that "emulation is a sign of success"! I look forward to reading the haikus that you'll be writing. They are so much fun to do! Linda |

Noah---Yes, indeed, I had many peaceful reads under that elm tree---until it died from Dutch Elm disease! Oh that beetle has been the scourge of this beautiful arboreal species!
