IE, so very interesting in form and choice of colors. The mood is also wonderful. Signs of hope as you've summed it up here make me sit back and relax a bit. I've stopped to read this several times just to take it in. You've given me a reason to smile more...If my smile gets too broad, people start asking me what's wrong. Happiness is not normal here. It just makes me laugh even more. Hope you are well and many thanks for the entertainment!!!!!!

You may have intended a metaphorical meaning here but taken literally, drought stricken lands and people would certainly agree with the blessing you describe here

These Hiku that are being posted, are they for Strand's contests? I don't read his contest 'wants,' so I'm not familiar with the form. Does it require the downstairs spelling of certain words? If so, you do it with your usual colorful flair.

Dear Linnersz, i love arranging words in such ways and brian allows us to explore and get creative with some forms. I wanted to also post something less heavy after my last post. Hopefully brian appreciates. Thank you always for your kindness
