Super job, Barb. I don't think you capitalize the first lines of Haiku and Tanka. It really makes no difference to me. I like your poem. Love, daver

While I respect the choice not to cry in certain situations like that, I must also admit that crying is not a weakness but a strength, as it shows the heart of he or she who cries, it shows the vulberability and that isn't weakness, but an indication of trust and goodness, that which many of us aspire to have. This is a wonderful write, as it shows the subjects strength while being in perfect form >michael
