How lovely. Jan. Congrats on the big win. Joe took internet away he's redoing our basement. I'm worried about posting for contests over the weekend. Also cant grade all my tests this weekend. And no Netflix. Guess that gives me lots of time just to work on poems. On cell phone right now. Will not do emails till after weekend.

There's something quite sad about seeing footprints in the sand, but even more so when it's only one, and that one leads to the sea. I hope he/she is just out for a swim. Your Haiku is super, Jan.

So much to think about in 3 little lines. Including something that waltzes in to erase the past in mind. Cooling the spirit. The wind knowing a secret, or waving a welcomed salutation. Foreshadowing of steady sail and new breaths of new beginnings. Golden sunset. GOLDEN POEM!
