Foolish~ Your prose sounds as if we share a common heartache. Thank you for the compliment but it is far from a blissful feeling. The words I write are uttered with an unfathomable melancholy. If silence was an option, silence I would choose. Prezioso

Rennie~ Glad you liked my haiku. You're was super too. Hope it's a trend. ;) If you feel like writing more, I suggest listening to "Heathcliff's Haiku Warriors" by Dave Matthews. The words are not clear enough to throw you off track, and the songs has a great flow that I can write to for hours on repeat. <BR>
<BR>
The best thing about a haiku is that is feels more than it says. I'd encourage other people to try writing some too. All you need (for a formal haiku) is 5-7-5 and a "haiku moment". ;)<BR>
<BR>
Cheers!<BR>

Thanks! I am also Gib McRae Cairn. As Gib, I put up this &lt;a href="<a href="http://members.tripod.com/~WindFall_Haiku/index.html">http://members.tripod.com/~WindFall_Haiku/index.html</a>"&gt;WindFall Haiku&lt;/a&gt; site in 1997 and got too ill to work it much since late 1999. Hope it helps all with the information and links, many of them timeless in their information. Been a bit slow to get myself and head together to write. Thanks again for the Haiku links! ..... Rennie
