When I wrote this I had intended to make it as is now 'however' P D; said to leave as it was when I had entered it in her comp..' so I put off the exact form until i looked it up and did it today...' I do tend to write sort of unconciously as it were'. Then I go back and make the connections..' if you know what I mean..?

Nice job here. But Texas is more than this to me. There is so much history there. Good write here though. God Bless, JB

A really good Haiku. I can see the noon day sun beating down and making many take shelter for a siesta. Good stuff. JB

Have not been to Texas in a long time - I have family in Richardson. This is a fine haiku - one can almost feel the heat coming up from the page. Do you live in Texas? Peace & blessings Matthew Anish
