Soup has broken out in artwork and when it's coherent, I wanna play, too, but I wish for more coloring options on my keyboard, like when I was 4 and wanted a larger box of crayons. Never have asterisks been more popular than they are on Soup now. I like your write even though you made me learn something ... CayCay

Yes, it's best to keep one's head. If you manage to keep the brain as well, you're especially blessed.

Oh, right it's my formula to use words I've never used before and express it into poems, (semantics) it's my style and I learn the word. I really want to learn how to use metaphors like your lovely poetry Paige ~ xhugs

It's all sorts of cool Robert. Yes, my moon series has taught me that as earth, sister moon, and brother sun (which I had wrong in my haiku, fixed) is in motion, we maintain our equilibrium, God's grace. Nasa is cool.

Join in on the hybrid haiku fun, Tommy. I've invested in the moon, haha. Like, I didn't know that crescent moon is only seen at dusk or dawn, did you?
