Oh by the way I meant this poem is your best one yet in this style...I definitely don't think this is the best style you use, or the best poem you have written, not by any stretch of the imagination, some of your other works are marvelous... just thought I'd clear that up. |

Sudhir - Your haikus are making me want to write them also - not only are they habit forming, they are contagious! So... this one's for you Poet's thoughts leap out, Held tightly by Sudhir's leash: Creativity! Hey! I did it! And there isn't ONE mention of kitties in the whole thing! Incidently - it describes you to a tee! |

My Guardian Angel of Grace Sudhir is the early bird Reads every single little word That has been posted through the night Before the mockingbird takes flight He makes his comments, then moves on The thoughts that he has dwelt upon And posts his poems and his replies Before we open up our eyes He’s delving deep into Haiku There’s Haiku 1 and Haiku 2 And now he’s posted Haiku 3 His I.Q.’s just too high for me But now I found I have in place My own Guardian Angel of Grace He reads my poem and finds a glitch Reports a word that I should switch He e-mails me the found mistake And not a moment do I take To make the needed spelling change From an editor of distant range Correction’s made, he’s saved me face He’s my Guardian Angel of passions Grace And what I think is really neat It’s done while everyone’s asleep Thanks, Sudhir And incidentally, you've conquered the Haiku Liz |

Sudhir's Haiku bug spreads contagion everywhere soon all write this way Be well, good Haiku. Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |

Sudhir....let's hope the bug becomes your constant companion!! This is timely, and paints a picture of what a forest fire is....very scary, and sad in it's devastation... Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
