Haiku magic my dear Lin....given a visual presence by your painting. Do hope a few tadpoles escaped to become frogs.

Hi, Paul and thank you for commenting on my poetry and painting. The tadpoles filled this egret and he didn't spread the word to his friends about the banquet. lol

Dearest Lin, I loved how your haiku delicately captures the life cycle in nature's symphony. It's a wonderful glimpse into the intricate balance of predator and prey, where even the smallest creatures play their part. I also like how your words evoke a sense of harmony and interconnectedness of the beauty and brutality inherent in the natural world. - Blessings, Daniel

'Thank you' is never enough written in two words to give credit to the honor you offer my poetry. The great amount of detail you go into is truly appreciated, Daniel.

Dear Danny, I don't know about talent, but I try to paint what my eyes envision, and write what comes from that. There are many egrets in my area. Thanks a bunch, sweet friend.
