really cool picture to go with your worthy haiku, Debs. That cat poem I just read of yours. You should have entered it in the animal contest !!

Debbie Guzzi, haiku master and karate master! This demonstrates the art of haiku with perfection. I remember the email u sent me several months ago about writing effective haiku..I look for every new one you post! Amazing......poor skinned knees too. Gwendolen
