Fortunately we all have different styles of writing and varied ways of expressing ourselves, Susan. That is why we tend, even more, to appreciate poems written by others. Thank you for your lovely critique. ~ Warm regards // paul

Thank you, Andrea. In fact I was going to write a haiku, but being a 3 liner I took advantage of the possibility of using unlimited words/syllables. Regards ~ paul
