this is excellent, my friend. I tried to leave a comment on your Shepherds, but wasn't able to, for some reason - it was beautiful, especially told in so few lines

Beautiful, Paul! You certainly have a knack for short forms. Best wishes in the contest. (If this is a beach in Malta, the sand looks as fine and silky as it is here.) Hugs, Carolyn

Hi Paul, welcome back - hope yo are OK. In just 2 lines you create such a fine write. Look what we can do when we all work and acknowledge each other with harmony. A meaningful Haiku, well penned Paul. Warm regards and hugs Jennifer

Thank you, Jenny. I'm doing fine, and hope so are you:) This was inspired by the photo: a fence put up by human hands, wind-rippled sand, sun all contributed to the "net" formation....ready to be cast into the sea ~ Warm regards & hugs // paul
