Thanks Deb. I’m so pleased to get this further comment from you. Yes, it’s about my much missed “best friend”.

I've read a wonderful trilogy of haikus this morning from your golden pen Peter. This of the three has an air of mystery about it. That word 'phantom' evokes an 'other worldly' atmosphere...but of course it could relate to phantom limb pains too..numbing, tingling, pins and needles..perhaps you've walked there before with someone else in the past? Perhaps someone is there with you in spirit? For such few words haikus have me playing with my brain..And I love it! Cheers - Gary

Thank you Gary for this kind comment. The phantom presence at my heel is in fact my dear departed dog who always used to accompany me on walks. Glad you like it. Cheers, Peter
