Congratulations, dear poet, for your top placement in this contest with a lovely illustrated Haiku. One can note a tone of inner melancholy against a backdrop of outer sigh. May the coming day brighten the sky.

Dear Sotto,such a beautifully distilled reflection—just three lines, yet it carries the weight of memory, the ache of the body, and the quiet balm of time. I felt the sun’s grip, the whisper of wheat at day's end, and that final line—‘dust salves old regret’—lingered with me. Nature as healer, time as witness. Stunning work I hope you win the contest...hugs
