Beautifully done my friend...I particularly like how you came up with a 5 syllable one word first line! I have had many Deja Vu moments...Maybe God gives us a choice to either stay with Him in heaven or go back to another life on earth...

Do you believe in reincarnation? I really struggle with that concept, and yet I think there is something pretty cool about it, to think we could have a way to transcend those awful things!! Nice one!

Yes Andrea I definitely do ! I hv seen it all about myself in Bhrigu samhita as I wrote in poem - past lives- if u remember! N I was to respond to some of ur quarries , but I m sorry to hv failed to do so till date! Soon will revert to u, till then u may google ' Bhrigu samhita by Rishi Bhrigu( Saint Bhrigu)

Dear Dr. Upma, You have touched on a subject very dear to me. Reincarnation does wipe the slate clean. I'm a believer, my friend. I wrote "Past-Life Nightmare" about my own true experience with reincarnation. There are few believers here in the states, but globally more than half of the world's population believes in reincarnation. If I were judging this poem would take wing and fly to the top! Brilliant haiku. Love, Carolyn

Thnx for ur great words on this poem Carolyn! I hv read ur past lives, that was amazing ! I also wrote one on past lives when u last held a contest in end of June but failed to enter. That was on my past life true experience , I do strongly believe in reincarnation!
