Dear Sara, I always love your poems and especially your Haikus. Yes, baby ducklings first breathe how beautiful. I always tell my baby granddaughters their head when first born is like Baby Duck Fur - Blessings, Daniel

That is cute and so beautiful how you’ve woven this haiku, and what an adorable picture to go with your haiku too dear sara. You do these so well. It isnt just the flow of your haiku that is gorgeous but also the way you phrase things like “ first breath's softness ensconced in love's warmth” soul warming really. And gives a romantic touch to the poem too. Pleasure reading your haiku. Sending you light. Hope you are doing well but from your poem here i can feel you are doing as always amazing
