My kind of haiku, Pandita. Have you ever seen what a large mouth bass does when it sees the silhouette of a frog from beneath a lily pad. He explodes from the water engulfing lily pad and all. Happy Mother's Day, my pretty friend:)

Pandita Sietesantos
Date: 5/13/2018 12:51:00 PM

Daniel, you are just a wonderful person as well as a poet! I treasure your comments! Thank you for making me smile today with your sweet wishes for Mother's Day. Hugs. Pandita
