Thanks, Vijay. Haikus are so short they have to be a little like hunches to me. I do like writing a few every now and then. Bill

Very thirsty people whose throuts and mouths are parched see these mirages of an oasis - occasionally this mirage can becomes reality. Just imagine if you have only been having a mirage of an oasis, you do finally see one! Great thoughts you aptly and poetically describe in your Haiku Bill. Hugs. Blessings Jennifer.

There's always hope, Jennifer, even in the desert-like times in our lives. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

Thanks, Jo. I've never actual experienced a serious threat in the desert but have been extremely thirsty out jogging in several desert-like areas with sand dunes. Have a great week! Bill
