Eileen Manassian April 16, 2018 at 3:28 AM Lovely haiku, Line. I'm not so good at this form and rarely write haiku. You got that turn between line two and three pat. Great write. Line Gauthier April 16, 2018 at 9:28 AM Thank you for your lovely visit, Eileen. We go through phases of style preferences...

Gershon Wolf April 15, 2018 at 10:00 PM You just keep 'nailing' these Haikus, Line: 'canine ears' is just the cat's me-ow. (How trite can I get, eh? --Only to contrast so vividly with your creative turn of phrase). Excellent. :) gw Line Gauthier April 16, 2018 at 9:29 AM That was an awesome comment, Gerhon. Loved it - far from trite. Thank you so much.
