For Anaya Nope..but a contingent here would celebrate. One Saint here, said I should be kicked off the Soup. Perhaps he has a point? Sad to know this goes on. But many wonderful poets here. I have complimented PS many timeS. Written tributes to poets. What else can I do? I don’t know. Panagiota

This is a lovely place.... cool and pleasant. Trees with the canopy of leaves arching over is a like a shady bower. Please note that this too is a haiku and not a senryu, if I am right !

Thanks for the correction, I changed a line and it made it a Senryu then changed it back and didn't change the form name. I'll fix it, Thanks my friend. Please let me know when you see mistakes in my poems. Hugs, Bill

Bill, here you have presented one of my most favorite place and from now on I shall carry your poem with me to sense that possible presence under the canopy. Do you suppose trees in a group such as a canopy have greater daring to send out their messages?

Bill Baker
Date: 6/2/2022 5:37:00 PM

Yes, in unity there is expanded power in messages sent. Thanks for the visit and comment, Sally. Have a great week! Bill

Thank you, Paulette. On the way home from Walmart, we take a country lane for about a mile. Nice feelings every time we pass under the arch across the lane. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

I love the imagery of the trees intertwined in an arch over the lane. We have a few spots here like that and it really is enchanting. A wonderful senryu Bill. Blessings xxoo

At one with nature, nothing beats it Bill, love to go cycling along those country lanes. Moved out of the city nearly 30 years ago, best move I ever made. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

We keep moving further out from the city, but where we live now is in the fastest growing county in the U.S. We're getting too old to move. lol Thanks for commenting, Tom. Always good to hear from you. Have a great week, my friend. Bill
